English Channel
Aerial view of the world's busiest shipping lanes shortly after departing Gatwick.
Massif Central
The dramatic dormant volcanoes and rugged uplands of south-central France.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping coastline of the Languedoc region as the flight transitions over the Mediterranean.
Port Mahón
An unparalleled view of the 5km-long natural harbor and the historic buildings of the capital city.
Book a window seat on the left for the 'Port' approach. Flights often track over central France; mid-day flights provide the best light for the Massif Central. During the final 10 minutes, stay alert for the deep blue waters of the harbor which contrast sharply with the island's limestone architecture.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Pyrenees on the horizon as you leave the French coast. On clear days, you may even spot the neighboring island of Mallorca to the southwest during the initial descent.
