Breathtaking views of the Timanfaya National Park volcanic fields immediately after departure.

🇵🇹

Lisbon & Tagus River

The Portuguese capital and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge can often be seen in the distance.

Picos de Europa

Snow-capped mountain ranges of Northern Spain may be visible across the Bay of Biscay.

Gironde Estuary

The massive waterway leading to Bordeaux, surrounded by world-famous vineyards.

London Cityscape

A potential view of the Shard, the Thames, and the City of London during the approach to Stansted.

Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the spectacular Martian-like landscapes of Lanzarote. On the final approach into Stansted, the right side usually provides a superior view of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary.

Vast white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Isla de Lobos
