Rhine-Ruhr Region
Aerial views of the industrial heart of Germany and the winding Rhine River immediately after takeoff from DUS.
Loire Valley
Flight paths often cross the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic chateaux and lush river landscapes.
Picos de Europa
Look for the jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain as the aircraft crosses the Cantabrian coastline.
Lisbon & Tagus Estuary
On clear days, you can spot the sprawling city of Lisbon and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge as you track south.
Lanzarote Volcanics
A highlight of the trip; the descent offers incredible views of Timanfaya National Park's black lava fields.
Lobos Island
A tiny, pristine nature reserve islet visible just north of Fuerteventura during the final approach.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography of the French and Spanish coasts. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing (avoid rows 12-22) to see Lanzarote's volcanic craters clearly during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

Eifel & Ardennes
View the dense forest regions spanning the German-Belgian border shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, often showing deep blue hues and cargo ship wakes.
Galician Coast
The rugged, fjord-like inlets (Rias) of Northwest Spain are often visible on the horizon.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon or evening flights, this side provides an uninterrupted view of the sun setting over the ocean.
El Cotillo Lagoons
Depending on the wind direction and landing pattern, you may see the white sand lagoons of western Fuerteventura.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights if you want to enjoy a sunset over the Atlantic. It is generally a quieter side visually for most of the flight, which is better for passengers planning to sleep or work, though you may catch a glimpse of the Fuerteventura west coast on the final turn.
