The Alps
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped Western Alps as the plane traverses Northern Italy.
The Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing over the high peaks and glacial valleys separating France and Spain.
Sintra & Pena Palace
On the western approach, look for the colorful palaces perched atop the lush Sintra Mountains.
Atlantic Coastline
Rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Portuguese coast near Cascais just before landing.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers, especially during the mid-flight crossing of the Pyrenees. For the Lisbon arrival, if the wind necessitates a northern approach, you will get a panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline and the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the mountains and the Portuguese coast.

Venice Lagoon
Aerial views of the historic center and the intricate network of islands shortly after takeoff.
Cote d'Azur
Glimpses of the shimmering blue Mediterranean and the French Riviera coastline to the south.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, offering unique geometric agricultural patterns.
Vasco da Gama Bridge

Sit on the left for the best views of the Venice city center if departing from Runway 04R. During the approach to Lisbon, this side often provides a clearer view of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the Christ the King statue if landing on Runway 03. Morning flights offer better lighting for the Mediterranean coast without the harsh glare of the southern sun.
