Dublin Bay
Capture views of the Irish capital and the distinctive Poolbeg chimneys immediately after takeoff.
Brittany Peninsula
Look out for the rugged western tip of France as the flight crosses the mouth of the English Channel.
Lisbon & Tagus River
A stunning aerial view of the Portuguese capital and the expansive Vasco da Gama Bridge.
Algarve Coastline
The golden cliffs and turquoise waters of southern Portugal are often visible before the Atlantic crossing.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Breathtaking views of the neighboring island's lunar landscape and Timanfaya National Park on descent.
For the best photography, the left side avoids the harsh direct sunlight typical of southbound afternoon flights. Keep your window shade open as you pass Portugal to see the transition from the Iberian Peninsula to the deep Atlantic. The approach into Fuerteventura often passes directly east of Lanzarote, offering a spectacular view of its craters.

Wicklow Mountains
Lush green peaks and valleys south of Dublin visible shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water known for its dramatic weather and maritime traffic.
Galician Rias
The misty, fjord-like inlets of Northwest Spain can be seen if the flight path hugs the coast.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, perfect for spotting cloud formations and sun glints.
Isla de Lobos
A small, uninhabited volcanic islet visible just off the northern tip of Fuerteventura.
The right side is excellent for sunset views if you are on a late afternoon flight. However, be prepared for significant glare during the middle of the day. If the aircraft approaches Fuerteventura from the west, you will get a great view of the dunes of Corralejo just before touchdown.
