Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks of the range, including Aneto and Monte Perdido, as you cross from Spain into France.
Auvergne Volcanoes
Aerial perspective of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring dormant volcanic craters and the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Loire Valley Chateaux
The winding Loire River comes into view, dotted with historic estates and manicured French gardens.
Paris Cityscape
Depending on the wind and landing pattern (specifically approaches to runways 26L/R), you may see the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur.
Book an 'A' window seat for the most direct views. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Pyrenees, while sunset flights offer spectacular reflections over the Loire River. If landing from the east, keep your camera ready for the Paris skyline about 10-15 minutes before touchdown.

Costa Azahar
Beautiful views of the Mediterranean coastline and the port of Valencia immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Pyrenees
Glances toward the rugged terrain near the Andorra border and the transition into the Languedoc region.
French Vineyards
Vast stretches of organized vineyard plots in the southern and central French countryside.
La Défense
Occasional views of the modern skyscraper district on the western edge of Paris during specific approach vectors.
Choose the right side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun when flying north. It is also the better side for viewing the Mediterranean coast during the initial climb out of Valencia. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River winding through the Spanish plains shortly after departure.
