High Atlas Range
Breathtaking views of North Africa's highest peaks, including Mount Toubkal, immediately after takeoff.

The vibrant blue waters and white sandy stretches of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline.
Ebro River Valley
The winding path of one of Spain's most significant rivers as it flows toward the Mediterranean.
Swiss Alps (Distance)
On clear days, the massive white peaks of the Bernese Oberland are visible on the eastern horizon.
Jura Mountains
The limestone ridges and deep valleys of the Jura range during the descent into EuroAirport.
The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers. You get the best view of the Atlas Mountains at the start and the Sierra Nevada shortly after. As you approach Basel, keep an eye out for Lake Geneva and the Alps in the distance. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography of the Spanish coast and the Jura range. Choose a seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the varied terrain changes from desert to high alpine peaks.
