Ibiza Departure
Aerial views of the Ibiza coastline and the crystal clear waters of the Balearic Sea.
The Pyrenees
A stunning crossing of the high peaks separating Spain and France, often snow-capped in winter.
Loire Valley
View the winding Loire River and the patchwork vineyards of central France.
Normandy Coastline
The dramatic transition from the French mainland to the English Channel near Dieppe or Le Havre.
London Skyline
Depending on the approach path, spectacular views of the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the city center.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Spanish mountains without the sun's glare. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the iconic London landmarks as the plane turns towards Essex.

Strait of Dover
