Bordeaux & Garonne
The winding Garonne river and the structured patterns of the world's most famous vineyards.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue contrast where the French coastline meets the vast Atlantic Ocean.
Picos de Europa
Striking limestone peaks in Northern Spain that often tower above the coastal clouds.
Canary Islands
A breathtaking view of Lanzarote's volcanic craters and Fuerteventura's vast sand dunes.
Viana Desert
The white sand dunes of Boa Vista island becoming visible during the final descent.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Canary Fly-by' approximately 45-60 minutes before landing. This side is also excellent for sunset views on afternoon flights. Use a flight tracker to identify Lanzarote as the volcanic shapes are very distinct from 35,000 feet.

Black Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies visible shortly after departing Stuttgart.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic crossing of the high mountain range separating France from the Iberian Peninsula.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, sun-drenched golden plains of central Spain and the Castile region.
Sal Island
The flat, salt-lake-dotted landscape of Sal is often visible during the approach to Boa Vista.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Spanish interior without the harsh glare. Keep an eye out for the Pyrenees roughly 90 minutes into the flight. During the final approach, the left side often sees the turquoise reefs surrounding Sal.
