Cíes Islands
The 'Galician Caribbean' with turquoise waters and white sand dunes visible immediately after takeoff from VGO.
Costa da Morte
The wild, rocky coastline of northwestern Spain known for its dramatic cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves.
Brest Peninsula
The jagged, westernmost tip of France featuring numerous lighthouses and deep natural harbors.
Mont Saint-Michel
The iconic tidal island and abbey often visible in the distance during the descent through Normandy.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Galician estuaries during departure. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Spanish and French coastlines without glare. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Galician Massif shortly after takeoff.

Distant views of the limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains as the plane crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Île de Ré and La Rochelle

Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France,' featuring a patchwork of vineyards and historic châteaux along the river banks.
Paris Skyline
On the final approach to CDG, the Eiffel Tower and the business district of La Défense are often visible on the horizon.
The right side is superior for spotting the famous islands of the French Atlantic coast, such as Oléron and Ré. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Atlantic. If the plane lands towards the west, this side provides the most direct view of the Paris city center during the final minutes.
