The Swiss and French Alps
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight path crosses the heart of Europe.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the surrounding peaks of the Mont Blanc massif in the distance.
Costa Brava Coastline
The beautiful transition from the French border down the rugged Spanish coast toward Barcelona.
Barcelona City Center
On a typical approach to runway 25R, you get a clear view of the Sagrada Familia and the Eixample district.
Sit on the left for the best sunlight balance during a morning or afternoon flight. Ensure you are seated well clear of the wing to capture the Alpine panoramas. The final 20 minutes are the highlight, as the descent typically follows the coastline, providing a perfect view of the Mediterranean meeting the city.

Central European Plains
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields across Poland and Germany.
The Pyrenees
The jagged mountain range forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Montserrat Massif
The unique, multi-peaked rocky range located just inland from Barcelona, visible shortly before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer seeing the rugged interior of the Pyrenees. If the flight arrives from the north (Runway 02), this side provides a better view of the Tibidabo hill and the Collserola Tower. During morning flights, this side will be in the shade, making photography easier.
