Champagne Vineyards
Shortly after takeoff, view the organized patterns of the famous French vineyards in the Grand Est region.
Eastern Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the mountain range dividing France and Spain, with views of the rugged peaks and the Mediterranean transition.
Gulf of Lion
As the plane moves south, the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea becomes visible along the French and Spanish borders.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
Panoramic views of the Catalan coastline and the distant urban sprawl of Barcelona on clear days.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Stunning vistas of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters as the flight descends towards Alicante.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight, as the approach often follows the coastline, providing views of the Mediterranean. Look out for the Ebro Delta, a unique bird-shaped landmass protruding into the sea.

Parisian Skyline
Depending on the specific air corridor, the Eiffel Tower and the urban density of Paris may be visible in the distance to the west.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of south-central France.
High Pyrenees
Deep views into the snow-capped central massifs of the Pyrenees range.
Aragon Highlands
The dry, reddish landscapes and canyon-like formations of inland eastern Spain.
Valencian Huertas
Expansive views of the lush citrus groves and agricultural plains surrounding the Valencia region.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights, offering a warm golden hour glow over the Spanish interior. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Teruel and the unique geological formations of the Iberian System. In winter, the snow cover on the Pyrenees is much more prominent on this side's deep-field view.
