LPA → VIE

Mount Teide & Tenerife

Looking west shortly after takeoff, you can often see the towering peak of Spain's highest mountain rising above the clouds.

The Pyrenees

As you cross from Spain into France, the rugged, snow-capped border wall of the Pyrenees provides a jagged landscape transition.

The Swiss & Austrian Alps

The flight path typically skims the northern edge of the Alps, offering panoramic views of massive peaks and glacial valleys.

Vienna Woods (Wienerwald)

During the descent, the lush green forested hills to the west of Vienna provide a scenic backdrop before touchdown.

Vienna City View

Depending on the landing direction (Runway 11 or 16), you may see the Danube Tower and the city center in the distance.

Fuerteventura & Lanzarote

Shortly after departure from LPA, the arid, volcanic landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands are visible to the east.

Costa del Sol

If the route follows the Spanish coastline, you will see the dense white developments and beaches of the Mediterranean shore.

Balearic Islands

On clear days, you can spot Ibiza and Mallorca as small jewels in the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

Southern Alps & Dolomites

Distant views of the limestone peaks of the Dolomites are possible as the plane traverses the Alpine region toward Austria.

Lake Neusiedl

A massive, shallow steppe lake on the border with Hungary, often visible if the plane approaches VIE from the southeast.
