Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
Dramatic views of the northernmost Canary Islands and their volcanic craters shortly after takeoff.
Lisbon & Tagus River
The vast estuary of the Tagus and the sprawling city of Lisbon are often visible as you track the Portuguese coast.
Picos de Europa
Snow-capped limestone peaks in Northern Spain visible as the flight path clears the Iberian Peninsula.
Loire Valley
The verdant landscape of Western France, characterized by winding rivers and historic chateaus.
London Skyline
During the descent into Luton, this side typically offers a panoramic view of the Shard, the City, and the Thames.
This is the preferred side for land-based landmarks. For the best views of the London skyline, look out during the final 15 minutes of the flight; the aircraft often loops south of Luton, providing a clear view of the city center. In winter, this side receives the best morning light for photography.

Mount Teide
Shorty after takeoff from LPA, look west to see the massive peak of Tenerife rising above the clouds.
Atlantic Horizon
Vast, deep blue ocean views perfect for spotting the transition from the deep sea to the continental shelf.
Costa da Morte
The dramatic, rugged coastline of Galicia in Northwest Spain as the plane crosses into the Bay of Biscay.
Brest & Brittany
The westernmost jagged peninsula of mainland France, featuring intricate inlets and coastal lighthouses.
Isle of Wight
The iconic diamond-shaped island off the South Coast of England marks the final leg of the journey.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for seeing the majestic Mount Teide on Tenerife shortly after departure if the weather is clear. Look for the 'Green Flash' at sunset if the horizon is unobstructed.
