London & Essex
Distant views of the Thames Estuary and the London skyline shortly after departing Stansted.
English Channel
Aerial perspective of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the French Normandy coast.
Picos de Europa
Spectacular views of the jagged, often snow-capped limestone peaks in Northern Spain.
Portuguese Interior
The changing landscape from the green hills of the north to the arid plains of the Alentejo.
Lanzarote Volcanoes
Unrivaled bird's-eye view of Timanfaya National Park's lunar-like craters during the descent.
Corralejo Dunes
The stunning contrast of white Sahara-like sand against the turquoise Atlantic just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The most critical views happen in the last 20 minutes of the flight; keep your window shade up as you cross from the Atlantic toward Lanzarote. If flying in the morning, this side also benefits from better lighting as the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft.
