Solent & Isle of Wight
Aerial perspective of Portsmouth harbor and the distinct diamond shape of the Isle of Wight as you exit the UK.
Aquitaine Vineyards
Expansive green grids of the famous wine-producing regions of southwestern France.
Western Pyrenees
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, often featuring the Pic du Midi d'Ossau.
Palma Cathedral
On the standard approach, the massive Gothic La Seu cathedral is visible against the blue of the Mediterranean.
Palma Bay
Crystal clear turquoise waters and hundreds of white yachts moored in the capital's harbor during final descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert; the transition from the high peaks of the Pyrenees to the Balearic Sea happens quickly, and the left-side view of the Mallorcan coastline is spectacular.
