Lanzarote
Exceptional views of the neighboring island's volcanic craters and Timanfaya National Park shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plains of central Spain offer a striking contrast of ochre and gold earth tones.
Loire Valley
Fly over the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic chateaus, winding rivers, and extensive vineyards.
The Rhine
Detailed views of Europe's busiest waterway, including barges and the industrial landscape of the Rhineland.
Sauerland Hills
Dense forests and rolling green hills dominate the scenery as you approach Paderborn Lippstadt Airport.
The right side is superior for the initial climb out of Fuerteventura; the proximity to Lanzarote is a major highlight. During the descent into PAD, the right side often gets a clearer view of the Rhine-Ruhr megalopolis. Expect bright sunlight for most of the flight if traveling during the day.

Atlantic Coastline
Sweeping views of the deep blue Atlantic and the distant Portuguese coastline during the mid-flight cruise.
Galician Rias
If the route tracks west, the rugged fjords and coastal inlets of Northwest Spain are visible.
Bay of Biscay
Watch for large cargo ships and the dramatic transition from the ocean to the French mainland.
Western France
Aerial views of the Brittany peninsula and the various islands dotting the Atlantic coast.
Ruhr Area
Distant views of the industrial heartland of Germany as the plane begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for capturing the sunset over the Atlantic if you are on a late afternoon flight heading north. Keep an eye out for the twinkling lights of the French coast during night flights.
