Bay of Biscay
The vast expanse of the deep blue Atlantic as you cross from the French coast to the Iberian Peninsula.
Costa de Prata
Portugal's 'Silver Coast' with its massive Atlantic swells and iconic surf spots like Nazaré visible from altitude.
Cape St. Vincent
The southwesternmost point of Europe, where dramatic cliffs drop vertically into the ocean.
Hassan II Mosque
The world's second-tallest minaret and the stunning seaside mosque complex during the descent into CMN.
Casablanca Shoreline
Panoramic views of the Corniche and the sprawling white architecture of Morocco's largest city.
The right side is the undisputed winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. Most importantly, as you descend into Casablanca, stay alert on this side to catch a glimpse of the Hassan II Mosque, which is best viewed from the right during the standard approach pattern.

Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic estates surrounding Nantes immediately after takeoff.
Picos de Europa
Jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible as you cross the northern coast of Spain.
Portuguese Interior
The patchwork landscapes of Alentejo and the winding Tagus River valley near the border.
Middle Atlas Foothills
The distant silhouette of the Atlas Mountains emerging on the horizon as the flight enters Moroccan airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is ideal for spotting the terrestrial features of the Iberian Peninsula and the distant Atlas Mountains. If flying at night, the lights of Lisbon and Seville are often visible in the distance to the east.
