Menorca Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise coves and rocky cliffs near Mahón immediately after takeoff.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water, often dotted with ferries and cargo ships.
Barcelona Skyline
Iconic view of the Sagrada Família, Agbar Tower, and the W Hotel as the plane descends parallel to the coast.
Port of Barcelona
A bird's-eye view of one of Europe's busiest ports, including cruise terminals and container docks.
Barceloneta Beach
The golden sands of the city's most famous beach visible during the low-altitude approach.
Sit on the left (seats A or B) for the most iconic views. For the best photography of the Barcelona skyline, choose an afternoon flight so the sun is behind the aircraft, lighting up the city buildings. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins, as the urban landscape appears quickly after crossing the coastline.

Mahón Harbor
Views of one of the world's largest natural harbors if the aircraft departs toward the northeast.
Sea Horizon
Wide-angle views of the Mediterranean horizon, perfect for observing sea-glint and sun reflections.
Montserrat Massif
On clear days, the jagged, distinctive peaks of Montserrat are visible in the distance to the northwest.
Llobregat Delta
The green wetlands and agricultural zones adjacent to the airport seen just seconds before touchdown.
The right side (seats E or F) is better for passengers who prefer a quieter view of the sea. It provides excellent views of the Llobregat Delta and the airport's infrastructure during landing. If flying early in the morning, the right side will catch the sunrise reflecting off the water, which can be quite scenic but very bright.
