Costa del Azahar
Glimpse the turquoise waters and white beaches of the Spanish 'Orange Blossom Coast' shortly after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
A breathtaking view of the high-altitude, snow-dusted peaks separating Spain and France.
Bay of Biscay
Panoramic views of the rugged French coastline, including the famous surf beaches of the Landes region.
Ile de Ré
The iconic white bridge connecting this scenic island to La Rochelle is clearly visible from high altitude.
Lundy Island & Bristol Channel
As the plane descends, enjoy views of the deep blue waters where the Atlantic meets the Severn Estuary.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare, while evening flights offer spectacular sunset views over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing. During the descent, watch for the North Devon coastline which appears suddenly as you cross from the sea into English airspace.
