HHN → FAO
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Faro Airport (Faro)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the core Pyrenees mountain range and is the definitive choice for the spectacular approach into Faro, providing a direct view of the Ria Formosa lagoons.

Vosges & Black Forest
Initial views of the dense, dark green forests bordering Germany and France shortly after departure.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses from France into Spain.
Castilian Meseta
The vast, high-altitude arid plateaus of central Spain with their unique ochre and gold hues.
Sierra Morena
Rugged mountain ridges and steep valleys as the plane enters the Andalusia region.
Ria Formosa Natural Park
A breathtaking mosaic of barrier islands, turquoise channels, and white sandbanks during the final descent.
The left side is essential for the landing; the 'F' window seat provides the best view of the Ria Formosa. On morning flights, expect some direct sun glare, so bring sunglasses, but the trade-off for the Pyrenees and coastal views is worth it.

Bay of Biscay
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline where the mountains meet the deep blue sea.
Extremadura & Alentejo
Scenic views of the dehesa landscapes and cork oak forests along the Spanish-Portuguese border.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean as the flight aligns for its southern approach.
The right side ('A' seats) is the 'cool' side for midday and afternoon flights, as it stays in the shade. It offers a more serene view of the Portuguese countryside and is ideal for passengers who prefer softer lighting for photography.
