Sierra Nevada Mountains
Mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, visible shortly after crossing the Mediterranean coast near Almeria.
Central Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the high-altitude border between Spain and France, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Massif Central
Views of the Chaîne des Puys in central France, a stunning chain of extinct volcanoes and cinder cones.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire river and occasional glimpses of historic chateaux as the flight traverses central France.
Greater Paris Area
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris can be spotted to the west before entering Belgian airspace.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic on this side as the sun moves westward, providing excellent natural lighting for photographs of the Spanish and French landscapes without the harsh glare of the morning sun.

Eastern Pyrenees
Views of the eastern flank of the mountain range, including the rugged terrain near the border of Andorra.
French Wine Regions

Sambre Valley

The right side is excellent for observing the unique agricultural 'Sea of Plastic' in Almeria shortly after takeoff. For morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare. However, this side provides the best perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and the transition into the industrial heart of Belgium.
