Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior coastal experience, tracking the edge of the European continent from the North Sea down to the Atlantic, featuring the dramatic cliffs of Brittany and the unique fjords of Galicia.
Weser Estuary
Watch the transition from river to sea at Bremerhaven shortly after takeoff.
Dutch Coastline
Perfect views of the West Frisian Islands and the complex dike systems of the Netherlands.
Brittany Peninsula
The rocky shores of Saint-Malo and the rugged western tip of France are highlights of the mid-flight.
Bay of Biscay
A vast, deep blue expanse often dotted with shipping vessels and dramatic cloud formations.
Galician Rías
Stunning views of the Spanish 'fjords' and the Atlantic beaches of Northern Spain before arrival.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep your camera ready as you pass Brittany, as the coastline is particularly photogenic from 30,000 feet. Look for the distinct blue-green water of the Spanish Rías during the descent phase.
Bremen City Center
Clear views of the Weser Stadium and the historic old town immediately after departure.
Antwerp Port Area
Bird's eye view of the massive industrial docks and the Scheldt river winding through Belgium.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' reveals its patchwork of fields and historic estates as you cross central France.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain are often visible on the horizon during the crossing.
Douro River Valley
Terraced vineyards and the winding river become visible during the descent into Porto.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the golden hour over the Douro Valley. On the final approach to OPO, the left side often provides a better view of Porto's city center and the Ribeira district if the plane approaches from the north.
