FAOBRE

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior mix of natural coastal beauty at takeoff, central European cultural landscapes, and a scenic river-side approach into Bremen.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Ria Formosa

Stunning aerial perspectives of the Faro lagoons and barrier islands immediately after departure.

⛰️

Central Spanish Massifs

The rugged, sun-drenched peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama and the vast Spanish Meseta.

🍷

Aquitaine Vineyards

The lush, orderly rows of world-class vineyards surrounding the Bordeaux region.

🗼

Paris Basin

Possible sightings of the outer suburbs of Paris and the sprawling French countryside.

🏙️

Benelux Hubs

The dense industrial and urban landscapes of the Antwerp and Rotterdam corridors.

🛥️

Weser River

A beautiful view of the winding Weser river which guides the aircraft into the Bremen approach.

The right side is the 'cool side' for afternoon departures, keeping you out of direct sunlight. Pay close attention during the first 5 minutes of flight for the Ria Formosa views, and the last 10 minutes for the Weser river approach into Bremen.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the aircraft tracks north along the Iberian Peninsula.

🏝️

French Atlantic Islands

Clear sights of the Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron off the coast of La Rochelle.

🚢

Channel Traffic

Observe the heavy maritime traffic in the English Channel and the distant silhouette of the British coast.

🚜

North German Plains

A patchwork of green and yellow agricultural fields typical of the Lower Saxony region.

This side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. However, on afternoon flights, you may experience significant heat and brightness as the sun tracks westward across your window.
