FAO → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Faro Airport (Faro) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks and the urban layout of Luxembourg City during the standard arrival sequence.
Eastern Algarve Coast
Stunning views of the coastline stretching toward the Spanish border and the mouth of the Guadiana River.
The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the high altitude snow-capped peaks separating the Iberian Peninsula from France.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep green valleys of central France.
Paris Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris can be seen to the east.
Luxembourg City
Excellent views of the Alzette River valley, the Adolphe Bridge, and the Kirchberg district during descent.
Choose this side for the most iconic views of the Pyrenees mountains roughly midway through the flight. During the final approach into LUX, look for the deep ravines and historic fortifications that define the Grand Duchy's capital.
Ria Formosa Lagoons
Intricate network of barrier islands and blue marshes immediately visible after takeoff from Faro.
Extremadura Plains
The rugged, golden landscapes of western Spain, characterized by dehesas and ancient agricultural patterns.
Bay of Biscay Coast
Aerial views of the French silver coast and the massive sand dunes near Arcachon.
Loire Valley
Glancing views of France's garden region, featuring winding rivers and historic chateaus.
Keep your camera ready during the first 5 minutes of flight for the best shots of the Algarve's coastal lagoons. For sunset flights, this side provides dramatic orange hues over the Atlantic as you cross the French coastline.
