Search flights from DTM to OPO
French Atlantic Coast
Panoramic views of the Vendée coastline and islands like Île d'Oléron near La Rochelle.
Bay of Biscay
Vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean often dotted with cargo ships heading toward European ports.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic, high-altitude limestone peaks in Northern Spain that provide a rugged skyline.
Costa Verde
The lush green coast of Northern Portugal meeting the Atlantic surf just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for coastal photography. The Picos de Europa mountains appear about 25-30 minutes before arrival and are most impressive when snow-capped in winter or spring. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on this side as the sun is positioned on the opposite (left) side.
Book Hotels in Porto
Ruhr Metropolis
Dense urban and industrial landscape of Dortmund and Essen immediately after departure.
Loire Valley
The historic heart of France, featuring winding rivers and the outlines of famous châteaux.
Pyrenees Horizon
On clear days, the distant jagged peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the southern horizon.
Douro River
Deep river valleys and terraced vineyards characteristic of the Portuguese wine region during descent.
Sit on the left for early urban views of Germany and inland French geography. This side is best for sunrise flights as the sun rises on this side of the aircraft. During the final 15 minutes, look down for the winding Douro River.
