Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks including Aneto and the Vignemale massif shortly after departure.
French Atlantic Islands
Clear sightings of the Île d'Oléron and Île de Ré along the coast of Charente-Maritime.
Cotentin Peninsula
The French coastline near Cherbourg as the aircraft begins its crossing of the English Channel.
Isle of Wight
A perfect aerial view of the 'Diamond Isle' and the Needles rock formation on the southern tip.
The Cotswolds
The classic patchwork of green fields and honey-colored stone villages in Southern England.
For the best lighting on the Pyrenees, choose a midday or afternoon flight when the sun is to the south. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after takeoff from Reus for the mountain crossing. On the approach to Manchester, the left side often sees the Welsh mountains in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly west.

Montserrat
The jagged, multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range visible shortly after climbing out of the Reus/Tarragona area.
Loire Valley
The winding curves of France's longest river and the lush vineyards of the central valley region.
Paris Distant View
On very clear days, the distant sprawl of the French capital may be visible to the east.
Greater London
A distant glimpse of the London skyline and the winding Thames as you head toward the Midlands.
Peak District National Park
The wild moorlands and gritstone edges of Northern England as the aircraft descends into Manchester.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Manchester (MAN), the right side often offers a better view of the city center and the Etihad Stadium if the wind is blowing from the west, necessitating a landing on Runway 23R or 23L.
