Thames Estuary
Aerial views of the winding River Thames and the industrial heart of East London and Kent.

A patchwork of rural French farmland and small villages between the Loire and the south.
Eastern Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the rugged mountain peaks marking the border between France and Spain.

The dramatic northern tip of Mallorca with its lighthouse and steep limestone cliffs.
Palma Cathedral

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the best lighting on the Pyrenees. This side is also the most likely to provide a clear view of Palma city and the harbor during the standard landing pattern. Watch closely as you descend past the 10,000-foot mark for the first glimpse of the Balearic coastline.
