Loire Valley
Aerial views of central France's famous valley, known for its winding river and scattered historic chateaus.
Pyrenees Horizon
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range are visible far to the south.
Douro Valley
The iconic terraced vineyards of the world's oldest demarcated wine region as you enter Portuguese airspace.
Porto Cityscape
A stunning view of the Ribeira district, the Clerigos Tower, and the historic center during the approach to OPO.
For morning flights, the left side is preferable to avoid direct sun glare from the west. During the final 15 minutes, look for the deep river valleys of Northern Portugal. If the plane approaches from the south, you will get a perfect view of the Luis I Bridge.
