Costa del Azahar
Breathtaking views of the Spanish 'Orange Blossom Coast' immediately following departure from Valencia.
Ebro Delta
The unique, bird-shaped wetland of the Ebro River delta, one of the most recognizable geographic features in Spain.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps are frequently visible on the far eastern horizon during the cruise phase.
Moselle & Rhine Valleys
The picturesque vineyard-covered slopes and steep river bends of western Germany during the descent.
Düsseldorf Skyline
A close-up view of the Rhine Tower and the bridges of the Rhine river as the plane lines up for landing.
The right side is perfect for morning flights to avoid direct sun. Look for the Ebro Delta approximately 15-20 minutes after takeoff. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the Rhine river provides a magnificent guide directly toward the airport runway. If the weather is clear over France, look far to the east to spot the white peaks of the Alps.

Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees mountain range as the aircraft crosses from Spain into France.
Loire Valley
The lush green landscapes and winding rivers of central France, dotted with historic chateaux.
The Ardennes
Dense forest cover and rolling hills spanning across the borders of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Parisian Basin
If the flight path trends west, distant views of the Paris metropolitan area and the Seine river are visible.
Sit on the left for the best mountain textures during the Pyrenees crossing. For afternoon or evening flights, this side will experience the warmth of the sunset, though glare can be intense. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Ardennes plateau as you enter northern Europe.
