Mediterranean Crossing

Deep azure waters contrasting with the rocky coastlines of North Africa and Southern Europe.

Ardennes Forest

The lush, rolling green hills of southern Belgium and Luxembourg during the final approach into Brussels.

The Hoggar Mountains are the highlight of this route; ensure you are awake approximately 2-3 hours after takeoff. On evening flights, this side experiences a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean. Use a window seat behind the wing to capture the full landscape without engine obstruction.
