Distant Alps & Jura
On clear days, see the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps and the rugged ridges of the Jura Mountains shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Golfe du Lion
As the plane crosses southern France, enjoy views of the deep blue Mediterranean where the Rhone river meets the sea.
Eastern Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the mountain border between France and Spain, featuring jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
View the sprawling urban grid of Barcelona and the picturesque rocky coves of the Costa Brava coastline.
Ebro Delta
The unique, arrow-shaped wetland protruding into the sea is one of the most recognizable geographic features from the air.
Costa Blanca Approach
During the final descent, enjoy views of the white sandy beaches and the iconic Peñón de Ifach rock formation near Calpe.
Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid direct glare in the afternoon. The descent into Alicante usually follows the coastline southward, meaning the left side faces the sea and the famous 'White Coast' resorts. Keep your camera ready about 70 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing.

Auvergne Volcanoes
Fly over the Chaîne des Puys in central France, featuring a spectacular line of extinct volcanic craters and domes.
Central Pyrenees
View the highest sections of the Pyrenees range, including Aneto peak, which often retains snow well into the summer.
Spanish High Plateau
Observe the dramatic change in landscape to the arid, reddish-brown terrain of the Iberian System mountains and Teruel region.
Inland Valencian Sierras
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges and isolated hilltop villages visible during the start of the descent into Alicante province.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch a spectacular sunset over the Spanish interior. It offers a better view of the geological diversity of the Massif Central in France. If the wind is from the south, you may get a wide turn over the inland mountains during the final approach to ALC.
