The High Alps
Shortly after departure, gaze south to see the massive snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman and the Jet d'Eau in Geneva are often visible during the transit through Switzerland.
Pyrenees Peaks
A spectacular crossing over the high-altitude border between France and Spain, showcasing deep glacial valleys.
The Spanish Meseta
The vast, arid landscapes of the high central plateau of Spain, featuring unique geometric agricultural patterns.
For the best visibility of the Alps, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the peaks. Keep your window shade open for the first 30 minutes and the middle 40 minutes of the flight to capture the two major mountain crossings. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Pyrenees particularly photogenic from this side.

Massif Central
View the extinct volcanic domes and lush green regional parks of central France from a high altitude.
Bay of Biscay
Glimpse the northern coastline of Spain where the Cantabrian Mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Douro Valley
During the descent into Porto, the winding Douro River and its terraced vineyards are visible to the north.
Porto Urban Landscape
See the dense, colorful architecture of Porto and the Matosinhos beach area as the plane nears the airport.
The right side is the 'landing side.' Pay close attention during the final 15 minutes of flight; if the aircraft approaches from the north, you will get a panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline. In the late afternoon, the sunset over the Atlantic can be viewed from this side as you approach Portugal.
