Mount Teide
Look west shortly after takeoff to see Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds on neighboring Tenerife.
Lisbon & Tagus
View the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge and the vast river estuary as you fly parallel to the Portuguese coast.
Porto & Douro
The historic Douro River valley and the sprawling urban area of northern Portugal are visible before crossing the sea.
Bay of Biscay
A wide expanse of deep blue Atlantic waters during the crossing from the Iberian Peninsula to France.
Paris Skyline
On standard northern approaches, the Eiffel Tower and city grid are often visible to the left before turning for landing.
For morning flights, sit on the left to keep the sun behind you for better photography. To see the Paris city center, ensure you are not sitting directly over the wing. Watch the flight map; the turn into the Orly approach path is the best time to look for landmarks.

Las Palmas
The capital city and busy port of Gran Canaria are clearly visible during the initial climb out of LPA.
Picos de Europa
Jagged mountain peaks of northern Spain are visible if the flight path skims the Cantabrian coastline.
Santander Bay
A deep, beautiful natural harbor on the Spanish coast that marks the entry to the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Valley
France's 'Garden of Kings' featuring the meandering Loire River and numerous historical chateaux.
Orleans Forest
A massive green expanse of French national forest visible shortly before the final descent into Paris.
The right side is ideal for afternoon travel to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silver glint of the Loire River approximately 20-30 minutes before arrival. It offers a more consistent view of the French countryside.
