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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse set of landmarks, featuring the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range, the architectural sprawl of Paris, and a bird's-eye view of Legoland upon arrival in Billund.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Iberian Meseta

The vast, arid, ochre-colored high plains of central Spain and the Extremadura region.

🏔️

Pyrenees Peaks

The snow-capped border between Spain and France, offering some of the most dramatic mountain views in Europe.

🏰

Loire Valley

The lush green landscapes of central France, famous for its winding rivers and historic chateaus.

🗼

Paris Skyline

Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban geometry of Paris are often visible to the east.

🌾

Jutland Landscape

The patchwork of agricultural fields and small forests that define the classic Danish countryside.

🧱

Legoland Billund

As you descend into BLL, look for the bright primary colors and miniature structures of the world-famous theme park.

The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. Ensure your window is clear about 50 minutes after departure for the Pyrenees. On final approach to Billund, stay alert for the colorful Lego structures which are almost always visible from this side.

🌊

Algarve Coast

Breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the southern Portuguese coastline immediately after takeoff.

🚢

Gulf of Gascony

The deep blue expanse of the Bay of Biscay, often filled with large cargo vessels and fishing fleets.

🏖️

Brittany Coast

English Channel

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Isle of Wight and the southern UK coastline may be visible.

North Sea Wind Farms

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Atlantic to the French mainland.
