Costa Brava
The stunning, rocky coastline of Catalonia, Spain, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans, lagoons, and wetlands of the Rhone delta in southern France.
French Alps
A magnificent panorama of the snow-capped high Alps stretching across the eastern horizon.
Mont Blanc
On clear days, the highest peak in the Alps is clearly visible to the southeast during the descent.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva, including the Jet d'Eau fountain if the wind is right.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic scenery, especially for views of the Alps. In the morning, the light hits the mountains perfectly. During the descent, keep your camera ready for Lake Geneva; if the plane approaches from the north, you will get a spectacular view of the entire lake and the Mont Blanc massif behind it.

Ibiza Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged northern cliffs of Ibiza and the deep blue Mediterranean as you depart.
Gulf of Lion
The vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea meeting the southern coast of France near Montpellier.
Languedoc Region
Views of the diverse French landscapes, including vineyards and historic towns in the Occitanie region.
Massif Central
The eastern edges of France's ancient volcanic mountain range visible during the mid-flight phase.
Jura Mountains
Dense green forests and limestone ridges of the Jura range as the plane prepares for landing in Geneva.
Choose the left side if you are flying during a sunset to capture the warm glow over the French mainland. It is also excellent for viewing the Jura Mountains during the final approach. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to maintain a clear view of the changing terrain from coastal plains to inland mountains.
