Sintra-Cascais Coast
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic cliffs and beaches where Europe meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Picos de Europa
Vivid views of the limestone peaks in Northern Spain as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay coastline.
Bordeaux Vineyards
A patchwork of world-famous vineyards visible as the flight path enters French airspace.
Northern Alps
Panoramic views of the northern Alpine range, including Lake Constance and the Bavarian foothills.
Prague Skyline
If the flight path trends slightly north, the distinctive architecture of the Czech capital is often visible.
Russian Taiga
Dense, deep green forests characterizing the landscape of Western Russia during the final descent.
For afternoon flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it perfect for capturing the Sintra coastline. Watch for the Pena Palace on the hills of Sintra about 5-8 minutes after departure. During winter months, be aware that flying east means an earlier sunset, so prioritize window time during the first half of the flight.
