Ardennes Forest
Dense, rolling green hills and river valleys spanning Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after departure.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France,' featuring winding rivers and the faint outlines of historic chateaus across the French countryside.
Paris Surroundings
Depending on the specific airway, a distant view of the sprawling Paris metropolitan area and its outer suburbs.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains that signal your arrival in Northern Spain.
Santander Bay
A stunning aerial view of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, with the city and Magdalena Peninsula.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views during descent. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Picos de Europa. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the bay during the final turn.
