Swedish Archipelago
Vast views of the Gulf of Bothnia and the rocky islands along the eastern coast of Sweden.
High Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of Europe's highest glaciated peaks, often including the iconic silhouette of Mont Blanc in the distance.
The Pyrenees
The massive mountain wall separating France and Spain, featuring deep valleys and snow-capped summits for much of the year.
Catalonian Coastline
A stunning aerial view of the Spanish coast, often passing near Barcelona's famous urban grid and harbor.
Spanish Levante
The arid but beautiful landscapes of eastern Spain, contrasting sharply with the northern greenery seen earlier.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Ensure your window is clear approximately 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight for the Alps, and again at the 4-hour mark for the Pyrenees. Evening flights offer spectacular sunsets over the Spanish interior from this side.
