Central London
Unrivaled views of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City if the aircraft departs toward the west.
French Atlantic Coast
The sandy beaches of the Landes forest and the rugged coastline of the Basque Country.
Madrid & The Meseta
Views of the high Spanish plateau and the distant skyscrapers of Madrid's business district.
Granada & Alhambra
As the plane banks for its final approach, look for the historic Alhambra fortress nestled on the hill.
The right side is superior for the London departure, providing a postcard view of the capital's landmarks. During afternoon flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun when flying south, making it easier to photograph the Spanish landscape.
Book Hotels in Granada
Greenwich Peninsula
Clear views of The O2 Arena and the Emirates Air Line cable car immediately after takeoff from LCY.
English Channel
Aerial view of the busy shipping lanes and the white chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast.
The Pyrenees
A high-altitude crossing of the snow-capped peaks of the central Pyrenees mountain range.
Sierra Nevada
The dramatic, jagged peaks of mainland Spain's highest mountains are visible during the descent into Granada.
Choose the left side for spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada mountains upon arrival. If the flight is in the morning, the light will hit the mountains perfectly. This side is also excellent for spotting the French Pyrenees mid-flight.
