Casa de Campo Coastline
Crystal clear Caribbean waters and the Chavón River mouth immediately after takeoff from La Romana.
Azores Archipelago
On northerly tracks, glimpse the volcanic peaks and lush greenery of the mid-Atlantic islands emerging from the clouds.
Galician Rias
The dramatic fjord-like inlets of Northwest Spain where the Atlantic ocean meets the rugged continental shelf.
Picos de Europa
Stunning views of the snow-capped Cantabrian Mountains during the descent phase across northern Spain.
Northern Madrid
Detailed views of the affluent northern residential areas and the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares nature reserve.
Since this is typically an eastbound overnight flight, the best views occur during the final 90 minutes. Choose the left side to avoid direct morning sun glare while viewing the Spanish coastline. Keep your window shade down during the Atlantic crossing to sleep, then open it as you cross the 10-degree west longitude mark for the best lighting on the mountains.

Mona Passage
Views of the deep trench and uninhabited islands between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico shortly after departure.
Mid-Atlantic Sunrise
A brilliant, unobstructed sunrise over the clouds as the aircraft approaches the European continent.
Portuguese Coast
The golden beaches and cliffs of central Portugal, often visible near the Lisbon corridor.
Tagus River Valley
The winding path of the Iberian Peninsula's longest river as it cuts through the arid plains of Extremadura.
Madrid Financial District
The iconic Cuatro Torres (Four Towers) skyscrapers are frequently visible during a southern approach into Barajas.
The right side is ideal for sunrise enthusiasts, as the sun will rise directly on the starboard side of the aircraft. For the best views of the Portuguese coast, check the flight tracker for a southerly path. During winter months, the low morning light over the Castilian plateau provides a beautiful golden hue to the landscape just before landing.
