Lisbon & Tagus River
Unmatched views of the 25 de Abril Bridge, Cristo Rei, and the historic Alfama district during the initial climb.
Costa Alentejana
The dramatic cliffs and wild beaches of southern Portugal as the aircraft follows the coastline.
Equatorial Sunrise
On typical overnight flights, the left side witnesses the sun rising over the South Atlantic Ocean.
Recife/Natal Coastline
First landfall in South America, showing the turquoise waters and coral reefs of Northeast Brazil.
Serra do Cipó
Stunning views of the rocky fields and mountain ranges of Minas Gerais during the final approach.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best morning light. For the departure from Lisbon, if the wind is from the north (common), you will get a panoramic view of the city center. This side is also better for spotting the Brazilian coast after the long transoceanic crossing.
