Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse where the European continental shelf drops off into the Atlantic abyss.
Galician Rias
The fjord-like estuaries and jagged coastline of Northwest Spain near A Coruña.
Portuguese Coast
Long sandy beaches and crashing surf of the Silver Coast visible during the southbound transit.
Canary Arrival
Panoramic views of the northern tip of Tenerife and the Anaga Rural Park during descent.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. During the descent into TFS, the right side usually offers the best view of the coastline and the unique volcanic terrain of the island's southern tip. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon often trapped against the mountains.

Ruhr Metropolis
Dense urban sprawl and industrial heritage sites of Western Germany shortly after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Winding rivers and historic chateaux of central France visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Picos de Europa
Snow-capped limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains as you cross into Spain.
Mount Teide
Stunning views of Spain's highest peak towering above the clouds during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for catching a glimpse of the African coastline in the far distance if the flight path takes a more easterly route over the Atlantic.
