Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and green fields of Southern Ireland before heading out over the open Atlantic.
Greenland Ice Caps
On many North Atlantic tracks, passengers can spot the immense white glaciers and icebergs of Southern Greenland.
Newfoundland & Labrador
The first sight of North America usually features the rocky, indented coastline and pristine lakes of Eastern Canada.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Iconic views of the blue-tinted mountain ranges of Virginia and North Carolina as you head toward the Deep South.
Keep your window shade up during the mid-flight crossing; if the flight path takes a northern Great Circle route, the views of Greenland and the Canadian Maritimes are world-class. Use a flight tracker to see if you will pass over the 'Iceberg Alley' off the coast of Newfoundland.
