Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Faro Airport (Faro)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience featuring the rugged Atlantic coastline of Spain and the entirety of the Portuguese coast, including views of Lisbon and the dramatic cliffs of the Algarve.

Galician Rias

The jagged, fjord-like inlets of the Northwest Spanish coast near A CoruΓ±a and Vigo.

πŸŒ‰

Lisbon & Tagus River

Stunning aerial views of the Portuguese capital, its red roofs, and the 25 de Abril Bridge.

πŸ–οΈ

Alentejo Coastline

Wild, sandy beaches and turquoise waters along one of Europe's most pristine coastal stretches.

πŸŒ…

Cape St. Vincent

The southwesternmost point of mainland Europe, marked by steep cliffs and a lonely lighthouse.

🦩

Ria Formosa

The intricate network of lagoons, salt pans, and sand islands surrounding Faro Airport.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline. The descent into Faro often follows the coast from west to east, offering a panoramic view of the famous Algarve cliffs. Morning flights provide the most vibrant water colors on this side.

Western Pyrenees

The snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing France and Spain are visible on the horizon.

🏰

The high, arid plains of Central Spain featuring ancient towns and unique agricultural patterns.

β›³

Algarve Golf Courses

Lush green landscapes of world-class golf resorts as the plane turns for its final approach.

The left side is excellent for seeing the inland geography of France and Spain. If flying in the late afternoon, this side remains in the shade, making it easier to take photos without glare. Watch for the change from green European forests to the redder soils of the Iberian Peninsula.
