Île de Ré & Oléron
Distinctive views of the white-sand islands and salt pans off the coast of La Rochelle.
Bay of Biscay
Dramatic aerial perspectives of the deep Atlantic waters and the transition from the French to the Spanish shelf.
Galician Rias
The deep, fjord-like coastal inlets of Northwest Spain, offering a stunning contrast between green hills and blue water.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for witnessing a sunset on late-afternoon or evening flights.
The right side is essential for sunset flights to see the sun dip into the ocean. On the final approach into Porto, this side often catches the reflection of the sun on the Atlantic and the long stretches of Portuguese beaches north of the city.

Loire Valley Châteaux
A glimpse of the historic 'Valley of the Kings' and its famous manor houses shortly after takeoff from Tours.
Picos de Europa
The jagged, snow-capped limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Douro Hinterland
The rugged interior of Northern Portugal and the start of the terraced vineyard regions as you approach OPO.
Choose this side for morning departures to enjoy the softest light over the French countryside and to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun. It provides the best view of the Spanish interior if the flight path tracks further east of the coast.
