DLE → LIS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dole-Tavaux Airport (Dole) to Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the high Pyrenees peaks and is typically the prime side for viewing the Lisbon city center and the Tagus River during the final approach into Humberto Delgado Airport.
Massif Central Peaks
Ancient volcanic domes and rugged plateaus of central France visible shortly after takeoff.
High Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the central Pyrenees mountain range forming the border between France and Spain.
Castilian Meseta
The vast, golden high plains of central Spain with scattered historic towns.
Serra da Estrela
The highest mountain range in mainland Portugal, often featuring snow in winter months.
Lisbon Waterfront
A breathtaking view of the Alfama district, the 25th of April Bridge, and the Tagus estuary on final descent.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction of the landscape. For afternoon flights, this side catches the warm 'golden hour' light reflecting off the Tagus River. If the flight lands on Runway 21, you will have a front-row seat to Lisbon's historic center.
Aquitaine Vineyards
Expansive views of the famous wine-growing regions surrounding Bordeaux to the west.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters of the Atlantic meeting the rugged coastline of the Basque Country.
Picos de Europa
Jagged limestone massifs in Northern Spain visible in the distance to the west.
Douro River Valley
The winding river valley famous for Port wine production as you enter Portuguese airspace.
Sintra Mountains
The mist-covered hills and fairytale palaces of Sintra visible during the approach from the north.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the dramatic Atlantic coastline as the aircraft nears the Iberian Peninsula's western edge. If the flight performs a southern approach loop, you will see the Cascais coastline and Estoril beaches.
