Mar Menor
An unbeatable view of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon and the thin La Manga sand strip.
Sistema Central
Aerial perspective of the mountain ranges north of Madrid, often snow-capped in winter.
The Pyrenees
Distant but sharp views of the high peaks forming the border between Spain and France.
Loire Estuary
The mouth of the longest river in France near the city of Saint-Nazaire.
Severn Estuary
The massive Severn Bridges and the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm.
Bristol City
Iconic views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the colorful harborside on final descent.
The right side is essential for the Mar Menor view at takeoff. Sit here for morning flights to get the best lighting on the French coast and the UK arrival. If the flight lands from the east, you will have a perfect view of the entire city of Bristol and its landmarks just before touchdown.

Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain with its unique agricultural patterns.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight crosses the bay.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, indented coastline of western France featuring hidden coves and rocky outcrops.
North Devon Coast
The wild northern edge of the South West peninsula as you enter UK airspace near Lundy Island.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the open ocean and the rugged Atlantic edge of the European continent. It is particularly good for spotting the isolated island of Lundy as you approach the Bristol Channel.
