Rabat and Salé
A bird's eye view of the Moroccan capital and the Bou Regreg river shortly after takeoff.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic meeting point of Africa and Europe, with views toward the Rock of Gibraltar and Tangier.
Tagus River Estuary
Distant views of the Lisbon coastline and the expansive mouth of the Tagus River.
Picos de Europa
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible as you cross northern Spain.
Guérande Salt Marshes
The intricate, colorful geometric patterns of the salt pans near the Loire estuary during descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for geography lovers. For the best clarity of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Spanish coast, try to book a morning flight when the sun is higher in the sky to avoid direct glare. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Spanish-French border over the Bay of Biscay, as the coastline of Galicia is particularly rugged and photogenic.

Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also best for viewing the specific island geography of the Vendée region during the final 15 minutes of the flight. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the water during midday flights.
