Mont Blanc & Alps
Spectacular views of the highest peak in Europe and the surrounding snow-capped Swiss and French Alps shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Coast
Panoramic vistas of the Spanish Mediterranean shoreline and the Balearic Sea as the flight tracks south.
Sierra Nevada Range
The stunning snow-covered peaks of Southern Spain near Granada provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid landscape.
Strait of Gibraltar
A iconic view of the narrow passage between Europe and Africa, often featuring the Rock of Gibraltar and heavy maritime traffic.
Rif Mountains
The rugged and verdant mountain range of northern Morocco provides a beautiful introduction to the African landscape.
On morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the Alps and roughly 90 minutes into the flight for the Gibraltar crossing. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Sierra Nevada and the Moroccan coast is particularly striking.
