Atlantic Shoreline
Breathtaking views of the Moroccan coast and the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Cadiz after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.
Western Pyrenees
The rugged western edge of the Pyrenees mountain range where the peaks meet the Atlantic near the Basque Country.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The sprawling, geometric patterns of the world-famous wine estates and the wide Garonne river winding through the landscape.
Atlantic Islands
Clear views of the Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron with their distinctive salt marshes and white-sand beaches off the French coast.
Choose the left side for the most diverse geography. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the coastline as the sun is positioned behind the aircraft. Keep a close watch roughly 45 minutes into the flight for the crossing between Africa and Europe, which is a major geographic highlight.
