The left side provides an exceptional vantage point of the Sierra Nevada mountains immediately after takeoff, followed by the dramatic transition from the Spanish Meseta to the lush Cantabrian coast and finally the rolling English countryside.
The right side offers a superior view of the unique Tabernas Desert upon departure, the rugged Spanish interior, and the iconic green landscapes of the English Peak District during the descent into Manchester.
