South Norway Coast
A final look at the rugged southern tip of Norway and the Skagerrak strait separating it from Denmark.
Parisian Basin
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and sometimes the Eiffel Tower can be spotted in the distance.
Massif Central
Fly over the extinct volcanoes of the Chaine des Puys in central France, featuring unique crater formations.
Montserrat
The serrated peaks of the Montserrat monastery mountain are a primary landmark on the right during the BCN arrival.
Barcelona Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Eixample grid, Sagrada Família, and the Agbar Tower during the final turn to the runway.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers the most distinct landmarks, specifically the Montserrat mountain range which is a highlight of this route. During the standard arrival (ILS Z Runway 24R), sit on the right for the best view of the city center and the beach front before touchdown.

Oslofjord
Aerial views of the forested islands and deep blue waters south of Oslo immediately after takeoff.
Øresund Region
Depending on the airway, you may see the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden and the city of Copenhagen.
The Alps
Distant views of the snow-capped Swiss Alps are often visible to the east during the cruise over central Europe.
Costa Brava
As the plane descends, the turquoise waters and rocky coves of the Catalan coast appear to the east.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you prefer direct sunlight, but be aware of glare. On a southern approach into BCN, the left side provides views of the Mediterranean Sea and the cargo port area. Watch for the Alps shimmering on the horizon over central France.
