Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior coastal experience, featuring the French Atlantic coastline, the rugged Picos de Europa mountains, and a stunning approach over the palaces of Sintra and the Atlantic shore.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Bay of Biscay

Dramatic views of the French coastline near La Rochelle and the deep blue expanse of the Atlantic.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The jagged, snow-capped limestone peaks of northern Spain's most famous mountain range.

🏖️

Costa Verde

The lush, green northern coastline of Spain and Portugal, contrasting sharply with the blue ocean.

🏰

Sintra Palaces

The fairytale-like Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle perched atop the Serra de Sintra hills.

🌉

25 de Abril Bridge

The iconic red suspension bridge spanning the Tejo River, reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the most dramatic arrival, look out for the Sintra hills and the Cascais coastline roughly 15 minutes before landing. In summer, sunset flights provide a spectacular golden hour glow over the Atlantic on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇧🇪

Ardennes & Wallonia

Rolling hills and dense forests of southern Belgium visible shortly after departure from Eindhoven.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River in central France, dotted with historic chateaus and sprawling vineyards.

🌾

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain characterized by its unique ochre and gold colors.

🌉

Vasco da Gama Bridge

One of Europe's longest bridges stretching across the wide Tagus Estuary during the final descent.

🏙️

Lisbon Old Town

Views of the Alfama district and the city's iconic terracotta roofs if landing from the south.

Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct sunlight during afternoon flights heading south-southwest. This side provides the best view of the Tagus River's massive estuary and the Vasco da Gama Bridge if the plane approaches Lisbon from the south (Runway 03).
