The flight tracks northwest from Lisbon across the North Atlantic, passing south of the Azores archipelago (occasionally visible on clear days from either side around 2-3 hours in), then crosses Newfoundland or Nova Scotia depending on the North Atlantic Track system routing, before descending over the US Southeast through the Carolinas and Georgia. The mid-Atlantic crossing offers no land features but frequent views of cloud systems and occasionally sea ice near Newfoundland in winter months.
