Search flights from FAO to HAJ
The Pyrenees
Stunning snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses the border between Spain and France.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The unique landscape of extinct volcanic cones in the Massif Central region of France.
Paris Basin
On very clear days, the distant skyline of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the northeast.
Upper Rhine
Geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards near the French-German border.
German Highlands
Dense forests and hilltop castles of the Weser Uplands as you descend toward Hannover.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. The Pyrenees appear approximately 50-60 minutes after takeoff; keep your camera ready for the high-altitude contrast. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. Try to sit away from the wing to fully capture the vertical scale of the Massif Central's volcanic peaks.

Vicentine Coast
Dramatic cliffs and wild Atlantic beaches of the Alentejo region shortly after takeoff.
Tagus Estuary
Distant views of the Lisbon metropolitan area and the long Vasco da Gama Bridge.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses the corner of the Atlantic towards France.
French Atlantic Isles
Clear views of Ile de Ré and Ile d'Oleron along the western coast of France.
Ruhr Valley
The industrial heart of Germany with its dense network of cities and the winding Rhine river.
Choose this side for evening flights to catch a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. It is also better for spotting the rugged Portuguese coastline during the first 20 minutes of the flight. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the French coastline.
