Sierra Nevada
Spectacular views of Spain's highest peaks, including Mulhacén, which often remain snow-capped into summer.
Pyrenees Range
A breathtaking crossing of the natural border between Spain and France, featuring jagged peaks and deep valleys.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateau of south-central France, offering a unique, undulating terrain.
Paris Distant View
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the high-rise district of La Défense are visible to the east during the descent.
Northern French Plains
The organized patchwork of agricultural fields and historic WWI battlefields as you approach Lille.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the Pyrenees illuminated by the early sun. Ensure you sit clear of the wing to get the best downward angle for the Paris skyline, which typically appears roughly 20-25 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow cover on the Pyrenees makes this side exceptionally photogenic.

Alboran Coastline
The rugged Mediterranean coastline of Morocco and the Spanish 'Costa del Sol' as you cross the sea.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, characterized by golden plains and deep river gorges.
Bay of Biscay
Distant views of the Atlantic horizon as the flight path skirts the western coast of France.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the verdant landscapes of the 'Garden of France' during the mid-flight transit.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the first 30 minutes of the flight when leaving the African continent and crossing the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid landscapes of Morocco to the greener terrain of northern Spain.
