A final look at the white sands and turquoise salt pans of Sal as you climb to cruising altitude.
Sahara Coastline
The breathtaking contrast where the golden dunes of Western Sahara meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic.
Atlas Mountains
In the distance, the hazy peaks of the Moroccan Atlas range may be visible depending on visibility.
Spanish Meseta
The high, arid plateau of central Spain, featuring unique earth tones and geometric agricultural patterns.
Pyrenees Range
The spectacular snow-capped border between Spain and France, offering some of the best mountain views in Europe.
Luxembourg City
During the final approach, a view of the Alzette valley and the historic fortifications of the city.
The right side is the 'geology side.' Within the first 90 minutes, watch for the striking line where the desert meets the sea. For the best lighting on these features, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you. On approach to LUX, the right side often gets a superior view of the 'Grund' and city center if landing from the southwest.
