Sierra Morena
The rugged mountain range of southern Spain, marking the boundary between Andalusia and the central plateau.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
View of the sprawling Spanish capital and its high-rise business districts located in the center of the peninsula.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France,' featuring the winding Loire River and glimpses of historic chateaux among lush greenery.
Benelux Urban Centers
Densely populated landscapes of Belgium and the Netherlands, including complex highway interchanges and industrial hubs.
German Lowlands
Expansive green farmlands and numerous wind farms across Lower Saxony and towards the city of Hamburg.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden, typically visible during the final approach into Kastrup.
Sit on the right for the iconic approach into Copenhagen, which often passes directly over or alongside the Øresund Bridge. During winter months, the low sun angle can cause significant glare on this side in the morning, so keep the window shade handy until the plane turns north-east.

Ria Formosa Lagoon
Exquisite views of the coastal wetlands, sandbanks, and barrier islands immediately after takeoff from Faro.
Iberian Meseta
The high-altitude plains of western Spain, characterized by arid landscapes and ancient agricultural patterns.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic waters as the flight crosses from northern Spain toward the French coast.
Normandy Cliffs
Aerial perspective of the dramatic white limestone cliffs and historic beaches along the northern coast of France.
West Jutland Coast
The rugged western coastline of Denmark and the North Sea islands visible as the descent toward Copenhagen begins.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon or evening. This side is also better for avoiding direct solar glare during morning flights heading north. Look out for the English Channel in the distance as you pass over the French coast.
