Southern Irish Coast
Bird's-eye view of the rugged cliffs and green fields of County Cork shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water often featuring large cargo ships and white-capped waves.
Lisbon & Tejo Estuary
Stunning views of the Portuguese capital and the mouth of the Tagus River from high altitude.
Lanzarote Volcanos
As you descend, look out for the otherworldly Timanfaya National Park and the neighboring island's volcanic cones.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
The bright white sands of Fuerteventura's northern tip contrasted against the turquoise Atlantic.
Choose a window seat on the left (Port side) to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights and to capture the best views of the Iberian Peninsula. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the stunning transition from the blue ocean to the stark, volcanic beauty of the Canary Islands.

Loop Head Peninsula
If taking off towards the west, you will see the dramatic Shannon Estuary and Loop Head lighthouse.
Oceanic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic horizon, perfect for watching the sun during afternoon flights.
Isla de Lobos
On the final approach, you might catch a glimpse of this small, uninhabited nature reserve island.
The right side (Starboard) is best for those who prefer the tranquility of the open ocean or wish to see the sunset over the water during evening departures. It is generally less scenic for landmarks but offers excellent lighting for photography during the late afternoon as the sun stays to the west.
