Northeast Ibiza
Views of the rugged northern coastline and the private island of Tagomago during the initial climb.
Eastern Pyrenees
High-altitude views of the snow-capped border peaks and the rugged terrain near Andorra.
Paris Cityscape
On a clear day, the sprawling urban density of Paris and the Eiffel Tower are often visible to the east.
Thames Estuary
Industrial beauty featuring large cargo ships, the Maunsell Sea Forts, and the London Array wind farm.
Southend Pier
The world's longest pleasure pier is a landmark highlight visible during the final approach into SEN.
The right side is superior for the arrival phase; the descent over the Thames Estuary offers a unique perspective of the Essex coast. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes before landing for views of Paris. In winter, the sun will be lower in the south, providing excellent side-lighting for the Pyrenees mountain range from this side.

Es Vedra
The legendary limestone rock formation off the southwest coast of Ibiza visible shortly after takeoff if the plane loops south.
Costa Azahar
The 'Orange Blossom Coast' of Spain stretching towards the Ebro Delta with beautiful turquoise waters.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest massifs and deep glacial valleys separating Spain and France.
Loire Valley
Panoramic views of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux within the 'Garden of France'.
English Channel
Active shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe before crossing into UK airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Spanish coast. If the flight path takes a westerly approach into Southend, you may see the distant London skyline to the west during the final descent. Look for the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees approximately 45 minutes after departure.
