The English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern English coastline.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic waters, often featuring impressive cloud formations and maritime traffic.
Costa Verde Coastline
The rugged, emerald-green cliffs and hidden coves of the Asturian coast during the low-altitude descent.
Cabo de Peñas
The northernmost point of the Asturias region, marked by its iconic lighthouse and sheer cliffs plunging into the sea.
Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean.
Choose a window seat on the right for the most scenic descent. As the plane turns to align with the OVD runway, you will get an intimate view of the rocky cliffs and the sea. If flying in the late afternoon, the golden hour lighting on the coastline is exceptional.
