Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of Elba Island and the smaller gems of the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after takeoff.
Cap Corse
The dramatic northern peninsula of Corsica with its sharp ridges and deep blue coastal inlets.
Balearic Vistas
On clear days, the silhouettes of Mallorca and Menorca are visible as the flight crosses the Balearic Sea.
Valencia Coastline
The entry point into mainland Spain, featuring the turquoise waters of the Albufera Natural Park.
Castile-La Mancha
The vast, golden plains of central Spain dotted with historical towns and windmills.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. This side is also better for spotting the islands. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for some sun glare as the aircraft heads west.

French Riviera
Distant views of the glamorous Côte d'Azur including Nice and Cannes as you fly across the Gulf of Lion.
Marseille & Rhone Delta
The massive urban sprawl of Marseille and the unique wetlands of the Camargue region.
The Pyrenees
On the horizon to the north, the snow-capped peaks of the mountain range separating France and Spain.
Barcelona Suburbs
Depending on the specific ATC routing, you may catch views of the Montserrat mountain and the Catalan hinterland.
Spanish Meseta
The rugged, arid landscape of the high plateau as the plane descends into the Madrid region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as you will be shaded from the direct southern sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the Pyrenees mountains on the horizon about halfway through the flight, which are particularly stunning in winter.
