Isle of Arran
Unrivaled views of the 'Sleeping Warrior' mountain profile across the Firth of Clyde within minutes of takeoff.
Ailsa Craig
A striking, isolated volcanic plug rising from the sea, famous for its bird colonies and curling stones.
Galician Rias
The rugged, fjord-like inlets of Northwest Spain's Atlantic coast as you finish the Bay of Biscay crossing.
Timanfaya Landscape
The dramatic, multi-colored volcanic craters of Lanzarote are clearly visible during the descent into Fuerteventura.
Isla de Lobos
The small, turquoise-ringed islet located in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura just before landing.
The right side is essential for the best arrival experience. About 20 minutes before landing, look out for the 'Mars-like' terrain of Lanzarote. Ensure your window is clean for photos of Ailsa Craig right after departure from Prestwick, as the plane usually climbs rapidly.

Galloway Forest Park
Lush green vistas of Britain's first Dark Sky Park and the rolling Southern Uplands shortly after departure.
Picos de Europa
If the flight path hugs the coast, the jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain are visible across the Bay of Biscay.
Tagus Estuary
Distal views of Lisbon and the massive Vasco da Gama Bridge as the aircraft traverses the Portuguese coastline.
Moroccan Coastline
The golden haze of the Sahara and the African mainland appearing on the horizon during the final hour of flight.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct contrast between the deep blue ocean and the light sands of the African coast in the distance.
