Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
Stunning views of the volcanic landscapes and turquoise shores of the eastern Canary Islands shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Mainland
The arid beauty of the Castilian plateau and the city of Madrid depending on the flight corridor.
The Pyrenees
The dramatic, often snow-capped border between Spain and France with jagged peaks and deep valleys.
French Countryside
The patchwork of vineyards and farmland of the Auvergne and Burgundy regions.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the winding Main river during the final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Look out early for the stark, desert-like terrain of the neighboring islands. During the mid-flight, the Pyrenees offer the most dramatic terrain change. On descent into Frankfurt, this side usually offers a better view of the financial district towers if approaching from the west.

Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as you leave the Canary archipelago.
Portuguese Coastline
The rugged western cliffs and beaches near Lisbon and the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

Crossing the vast maritime corridor between Spain and the French coast.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspectives of the 'Garden of France' with its winding rivers and historic estates.
Western Paris Suburbs
Depending on air traffic control, possible distant views of the outskirts of the French capital.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and spectacular sunset views over the ocean during late afternoon departures. This side is ideal for spotting the Portuguese Atlantic shelf and maritime activity in the Bay of Biscay. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the water.
