The flight crosses the Mediterranean north of Crete (visible as a distant landmass if altitude permits around FL300), then continues northwest over open sea. The southern coast of France (Provence region) and the Pyrenees may be visible on the horizon during the northern Mediterranean crossing, depending on altitude and visibility. The Bay of Biscay dominates the mid-Atlantic portion with no significant landmarks. Approach to the UK brings the Cornish coast into view before turning inland toward Bristol.
