Flight Path

Flight path overview

Over the Atlantic, passengers may see the Canary Islands if the route passes nearby. Crossing into European airspace, the flight passes over Morocco's Atlas Mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, and southern Europe (Spain, southern France, or Italy depending on exact routing) before descending into the Balkans. The Pyrenees, Alps, and Apennines may be visible depending on the precise flight corridor. The final approach crosses the Balkans, with views of the Pindus Mountains and the transition from Mediterranean to Adriatic geography.
