The Austrian & Swiss Alps
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks and glaciers provide a stunning mid-flight spectacle as you cross Central Europe.
French Riviera
Crystal clear views of the Côte d'Azur, including the cities of Nice and Cannes and the red cliffs of the Esterel.
Sagrada Familia
Gaudí's masterpiece is easily identifiable from the air as the plane descends over the Eixample district.
Torre Glòries
The bullet-shaped skyscraper marks the entrance to the city's modern technological district.
Camp Nou Stadium
Look for the massive footprint of the iconic football stadium as the plane lines up with the runway.
The right side is the 'city view' side for Barcelona. For the most dramatic scenery, book a flight that crosses the Alps during midday when the sun is high to illuminate the valleys. During the descent into BCN, sit here to see the entire grid-like layout of the city and the surrounding Tibidabo mountains.

Carpathian Mountains
Rolling green peaks and dense forests of Western Ukraine and Northern Romania visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Adriatic Sea
Distant views of the turquoise Italian coastline and the Venetian lagoon as the flight crosses Northern Italy.
Venetian Plains
The intricate network of rivers and agricultural patterns of the Po Valley visible under clear conditions.
Mediterranean Horizon
An expansive view of the open sea as the flight parallels the French and Spanish coastlines.
Port of Barcelona
During the final approach over the water, watch for massive cruise ships and cargo vessels docked in the harbor.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window. This side is particularly peaceful during the final approach as the aircraft typically banks over the Mediterranean Sea before landing at BCN.
