Mar Menor & La Manga
The most spectacular view of the flight: the massive saltwater lagoon and the pencil-thin 22km sand spit.
The Pyrenees
A majestic crossing of the snow-capped mountain range forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' visible with its winding rivers and high density of historic châteaux.
London Sprawl
During the descent, the massive urban footprint of London and its skyscrapers are often visible to the southeast.
The Peak District
Rugged moorlands and dark peaks visible just north of the airport as the plane turns for its final approach.
Sit on the right for the best departure experience; the view of La Manga is iconic. For the best visibility of the Pyrenees, choose a mid-morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the English Channel for white cliffs along the coast.

Costa Cálida
Aerial views of the rugged Murcian coastline and the blue Mediterranean waters as you climb.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, golden-hued landscapes of central Spain, characterized by arid plains and deep gorges.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the French coastline near La Rochelle with views of the expansive Atlantic horizon.
Mont Saint-Michel
On specific flight paths over Normandy, you can spot the iconic island abbey in the distance.
The Cotswolds
Rolling green hills and patchworked fields typical of the English countryside during the approach.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers excellent views of the Spanish Meseta and the dramatic transition from the dry Iberian climate to the lush greenery of Northern France and England.
