Ligurian Coast
Stunning views of the Italian Riviera, including the colorful coastal towns near the French border.
Côte d'Azur
Panoramic views of Nice, Monaco, and Cannes as the flight path hugs the glamorous French coastline.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks marking the border between France and Spain are visible to the north.
Madrid Metropolis
A great view of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the urban sprawl of Madrid during the final approach into Barajas.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for coastline lovers. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which can cause glare; polarized sunglasses are recommended. Look out early for the Maritime Alps meeting the sea near Nice.

Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of Elba and Capraia islands floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after takeoff from Pisa.
Northern Corsica
Aerial perspective of the rugged Cap Corse peninsula and the mountainous interior of the French island.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep Mediterranean blue as the flight crosses from the islands towards mainland Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The dramatic transition into the high-altitude, arid agricultural plains of central Spain's plateau.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, ensuring better visibility of the Tuscan islands. This side is typically quieter visually during the mid-flight sea crossing, making it ideal for those who prefer the sight of open water and the Spanish interior during descent.
