Luxembourgish Plateau

Immediately after takeoff, see the deep valleys and historic fortifications surrounding Luxembourg City.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Fly over the Chaîne des Puys, a dramatic line of extinct volcanic cones in Central France.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

Views of the rugged border between France and Spain, specifically the iconic Pic du Canigou.

🌊

Costa Brava

As you leave mainland Europe, the rocky cliffs and hidden coves of the Spanish coast are clearly visible.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Spectacular views of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed northern mountain range during the arrival sequence.

Choose the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the descent, this side provides the most dramatic views of Mallorca's rocky northern coastline and the Sa Calobra area. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountains isn't obstructed.

Palma Bay

Panoramic views of the capital city and its massive Gothic cathedral if the plane approaches from the south.
