Search flights from CRL to VLC
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' with its winding river and famous Renaissance chateaus scattered across the landscape.
Central Pyrenees
Stunning vistas of the highest peaks of the range, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Ebro River
Watch Spain's most voluminous river carve through the deep valleys of the Aragon region.
Aragon Steppes
The landscape transforms into a dramatic, semi-arid desert environment with unique geological formations.
Valencia Huerta
The lush green 'orchard' surrounding the city, famous for producing the world's finest oranges.
Charleroi Industrial Basin
An aerial view of the historic 'Black Country' of Belgium immediately after takeoff from CRL.
Choose the right side for the most impressive views of the high Pyrenees. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights as the setting sun illuminates the Spanish sierras in golden hues. Avoid sitting directly over the wing (rows 12-20 on many aircraft) to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains.

Paris Skyline
On clear days, see the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of the French capital to the west.
Massif Central
View the ancient, dormant volcanic peaks of central France stretching toward the horizon.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged border between France and Spain, featuring the dramatic slopes of the Mediterranean-facing peaks.
Costa del Azahar
The beautiful 'Orange Blossom Coast' as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Valencia.
Port of Valencia
One of the busiest container ports in the Mediterranean, visible just before touchdown.
Albufera Natural Park
The large freshwater lagoon and rice paddies south of the city, shimmering under the sun.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. During the final descent, the left side often gets a better view of the Mediterranean coastline and the historic city center if the wind dictates a northern landing approach.
