Mount Teide
Shortly after takeoff, look west to see the massive volcanic peak of Tenerife rising above the clouds.
Portuguese Coastline
Views of the rugged Atlantic cliffs and the urban sprawl of Lisbon and Porto as you track north.
Cote d'Argent
The long, straight sandy beaches of southwest France, including the massive Dune du Pilat near Bordeaux.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic, often dotted with large cargo vessels entering European waters.
Brittany Peninsula
As the plane nears northern France, the jagged coastline of Brittany may be visible to the far left.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct glare while enjoying views of Tenerife. Look out shortly after takeoff for the volcanic peaks of the Canary Islands. During the mid-flight, the Portuguese coast near Lisbon offers dramatic cliffside views if the route stays coastal. In winter, this side catches the sunset during late afternoon arrivals.
