High Atlas Peaks
Dramatic views of North Africa's highest mountain range immediately following departure from Marrakech.
Rock of Gibraltar
The iconic limestone monolith at the tip of the Iberian Peninsula is often visible as you cross into Europe.
Sierra Nevada
The snow-capped peaks of southern Spain, including Mulhacén, the highest point in mainland Spain.
Pyrenees Range
The massive, rugged mountain barrier that separates Spain from France, offering incredible alpine scenery.
European Cityscapes
Potential views of major hubs like Madrid, Paris, or Hamburg depending on the specific airway used for the day.
Oresund Region
The crossing between Denmark and Sweden, featuring the massive bridge and offshore wind farms.
The right side is the choice for mountain lovers. You will see three distinct ranges: the Atlas, the Sierra Nevada, and the Pyrenees. For the best lighting, morning flights are preferred as the sun will illuminate the European landmass from the east. Ensure you choose a seat in front of or well behind the wing to have an unobstructed view of the high-altitude terrain.

Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the deep blue Atlantic as the aircraft tracks north along the Moroccan coast shortly after takeoff.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow gap where Africa and Europe nearly meet, providing a clear view of the entrance to the Mediterranean.
Costa de la Luz
The golden beaches of southwestern Spain and the Gulf of Cadiz.
Brittany Peninsula
The distinctive jagged coastline of western France extending into the Atlantic Ocean.
Oslofjord
A magnificent approach over the islands, inlets, and sailboats of the fjord during the descent into Oslo.
The left side is exceptional for the arrival phase. During the descent into Oslo Lufthavn, planes often approach from the south, meaning the left side gets the best view of the Oslo city center and the inner fjord. If you are flying in the late afternoon or evening, you will also catch the sunset over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay.
