Hamburg & Alster
Bird's-eye view of the Outer Alster Lake and the city's historic center immediately after takeoff from HAM.
The Pyrenees
A magnificent crossing of the high-altitude border between France and Spain, featuring jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain, dotted with small villages and the historic windmills of Don Quixote's fame.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Breathtaking views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped until early summer, visible just before landing.
Costa del Sol
The sparkling Mediterranean coastline and the dense urban sprawl of the Malaga metropolitan area during the final approach.
Book a seat in the front third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For the best photography of the Sierra Nevada, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind you, illuminating the mountain faces. During winter and spring, the contrast between the snow-capped peaks and the blue Mediterranean is particularly striking.

Port of Hamburg
An impressive view of the massive container terminals and the Elbe river as the aircraft climbs to cruise altitude.
Parisian Basin
On typical flight paths, the outskirts of Paris and sometimes the distant city lights or the Eiffel Tower are visible to the west.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean is often visible on the horizon while traversing western France.
Madrid Skyline
Views of the Spanish capital's northern business district, including the iconic four skyscrapers (Cuatro Torres).
Guadalquivir Valley
The lush agricultural lands and rolling hills of western Andalusia as the plane nears the southern coast.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. During the descent into AGP, look far ahead and slightly right to spot the silhouette of the Rock of Gibraltar and the North African coastline on very clear days.
