Corralejo Dunes
The massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible immediately after departure.
Sierra Nevada
The snow-capped peaks of the Mulhacén, the highest point in continental Spain.
Balearic Islands
Stunning aerial views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca set against deep blue water.
Strait of Bonifacio
The dramatic white limestone cliffs separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Elba Island
If the flight path trends north, you will see the island of Napoleon's exile in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Choose the right side for mid-flight geography. The Balearic Islands are usually passed on the right about 90 minutes into the flight. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left, making the right side better for glare-free photography of the Mediterranean islands.
