Paris Cityscape
If the flight path tracks north, clear views of the Seine and urban layout are possible.
Loire Valley
A patchwork of vineyards and historic châteaux along France's longest river.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue Atlantic ocean meeting the dramatic cliffs of the northern Spanish coast.
San Sebastián
Aerial view of the perfectly curved La Concha beach and Santa Clara Island.
Bilbao Estuary
The winding Nervión river and the iconic titanium curves of the Guggenheim museum.
The right side is superior for the arrival phase, as planes often fly along the coastline before turning inland. For afternoon flights, be prepared for bright sun over the Atlantic, but the sunset views over the Bay of Biscay are unparalleled.
Book Hotels in Bilbao
Harz Mountains
Dense forest and the Brocken peak visible shortly after departure from Berlin.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distances view of the Main river and Germany's primary financial district.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Pyrenees Vista
The high peaks marking the border between France and Spain visible to the south.
Basque Mountains
Lush green rolling hills and deep valleys during the final descent into Bilbao.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the rugged interior of France and the high Pyrenees range on the horizon if the flight path stays inland.
