Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of the Baden-Württemberg region shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters and rugged coastline where France meets Spain.
Picos de Europa
Jagged, limestone peaks in Northern Spain that are often clearly visible from altitude.
Portuguese Coast
The transition from the wild Atlantic beaches to the urban sprawl of greater Lisbon.
Lisbon Approach
Stunning views of the Tagus estuary, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the historic Alfama district.
The right side is the 'money side' for the Lisbon arrival. For the best experience, try to fly in the late afternoon when the sun sets over the Atlantic, casting a golden glow on the city. Book a seat in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the iconic red bridge during the final turn into Runway 03.

Swabian Jura
The dramatic cliffs and plateaus of southwestern Germany immediately after takeoff.
Massis Central
Ancient extinct volcanoes and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Central Pyrenees
A distant view of the highest snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain with its unique agricultural patterns.
Tagus River Valley
The winding path of the Iberian Peninsula's longest river as it enters Portugal.
The left side is preferable for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. It provides a more stable view of the inland Iberian landscapes. If the flight lands towards the south, the left side sees the modern Parque das Nações district.
