Mount Teide
Breathtaking views of Spain's highest peak and its surrounding volcanic craters immediately after departure from Tenerife South.
Portuguese Coast
Stunning views of the Algarve and Lisbon metropolitan area if the flight path tracks along the edge of the Iberian Peninsula.
Bay of Biscay
Watch for large shipping vessels and the dramatic transition from the deep ocean to the continental shelf of France.
The Cotswolds
As the flight descends into Birmingham, enjoy views of the rolling green hills and honey-colored stone villages of rural England.
Birmingham Cityscape
A panoramic view of the West Midlands urban sprawl and the city center skyscrapers shortly before touchdown at BHX.
Sit on the right for the best view of Mount Teide; try to get a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. This side is also generally better for spotting European landmarks as you cross the Bay of Biscay and enter the English Midlands.

Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular ocean sunsets over the western horizon.
Choose this side if you prefer peaceful ocean vistas and the first glimpse of the UK mainland. For evening flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a sunshade. It is particularly scenic during the descent over the Bristol Channel.
