Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains immediately after takeoff and distant views of the Alps, finishing with a scenic approach over the medieval city of Bruges.

Serra de Tramuntana

The UNESCO-listed mountain range on Majorca's northwest coast, visible shortly after departure.

🍷

RhΓ΄ne Valley

The lush valley leading toward Lyon, one of Europe's premier wine-growing regions.

❄️

The Alps

On clear days, the distant but majestic snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible to the east.

πŸ—Ό

Parisian Basin

Vast, colorful geometric patterns of northern French agriculture and the outskirts of the Paris region.

Historic Bruges

The medieval towers and concentric canals of Bruges are often visible during the descent into Ostend.

For the best view of the Serra de Tramuntana, look out immediately after the initial turn post-takeoff. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the Alps to the east. During descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive Belfry of Bruges, which is a major landmark for this route.
