Parisian Basin
Aerial views of the sprawling Paris metropolitan area and the meandering Seine River if the flight path tracks slightly east.
The Pyrenees
Stunning snow-capped peaks and deep valleys marking the natural border between France and Spain.
Madrid & Central Spain
A high-altitude view of the Spanish capital and the arid, golden landscapes of the high plateau.
Andalusian Plains

Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
Incredible views of the 'Mars-like' volcanic craters and turquoise waters of the eastern Canary Islands shortly before arrival.
