Ria Formosa Lagoon
Aerial view of the intricate sandbars, islands, and turquoise channels just outside Faro.
Alentejo Coastline
The dramatic and wild cliffs of the Portuguese Atlantic coast as the plane heads north.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses from Spain to the French coast.
Brittany Peninsula
On clear days, the jagged coastline and offshore islands of western France are visible.
Zeeland Delta
The complex network of islands and dikes in the southwestern Netherlands during the descent.
Sit on the left for the best coastal views of the Algarve upon departure. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare on this side; morning flights offer the clearest, most illuminated views of the Atlantic coastline. Keep your window shade open during the first 20 minutes to see the Alentejo cliffs.

Faro Cityscape
A great view of the city and the surrounding Serra do Caldeirão mountains during takeoff.
Iberian Interior
The geometric patterns of cork oak forests and sun-drenched plains of central Portugal and Spain.
Loire Valley
The lush, green landscape of France's famous wine region and its winding river system.
Greater Paris
Distant views of the French capital's massive urban sprawl on clear days as you pass to the west.

The right side is superior for observing the transition from the arid Iberian interior to the lush green valleys of France.
