Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Celtic Sea, then the Bay of Biscay, before reaching the Atlantic proper. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Iberian Peninsula's northwestern coast (Galicia and Portugal) visible off the right wing around the 2-hour mark, and the gradual emergence of the Canary Islands archipelago as you approach the African coast. The Azores, if visible, would appear far to the north around the 1.5-hour mark. The Atlantic crossing itself offers open ocean views with occasional cloud formations; the most dramatic scenery occurs during the final 45 minutes as Tenerife's volcanic peaks rise above the horizon.
