Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse sequence of landscapes, featuring the Desertas Islands after takeoff, the central Spanish Meseta, a more direct view of the Pyrenees, and the best chance to see the Prague skyline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Desertas Islands

The uninhabited, rugged islands southeast of Madeira visible during the initial ascent.

🇪🇸

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain, offering a stark contrast to the Atlantic scenery.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Magnificent views of the snow-capped high peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Dense, dark green forest canopies as the flight crosses from Germany into the Czech Republic.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

During the descent into PRG, the right side frequently offers views of Prague Castle and the Vltava River.

The right side is superior for mountain photography. The sun will be on this side during the afternoon, which can create harsh glare but also beautiful lighting over the Pyrenees. For the best landing views, the right side is preferred if the aircraft lands on Runway 24, as it faces the city center.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Madeira North Coast

Dramatic views of the steep volcanic cliffs and emerald green slopes of northern Madeira shortly after departure.

🇵🇹

Lisbon & Tagus Estuary

Clear views of the Portuguese capital, the 25th of April Bridge, and the Atlantic coastline as you reach the mainland.

🛳️

Bay of Biscay

The transition from the Iberian Peninsula to France over the deep blue waters of the bay.

🍷

Bordeaux & Garonne

A glimpse of the famous French wine region and the winding Garonne river.

🎡

Paris (Distance)

On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the French capital can sometimes be spotted to the north.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and cabin heat. It is particularly good for coastal enthusiasts as it follows the Portuguese and French shorelines. Watch for the 'Silver Coast' of Portugal about 45-60 minutes after takeoff.
