LIS → HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic departure over the Lisbon city skyline and the Tagus River, followed by views of Portugal's highest peaks and the scenic Mosel Valley vineyards upon descent.
Tagus River & 25 de Abril Bridge
Stunning aerial views of Lisbon's iconic bridge and the Christ the King statue during departure.
Serra da Estrela
The highest mountain range in mainland Portugal, often snow-capped during the winter months.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the distant, sharp peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range can be seen to the southeast.
Champagne Region
The orderly, geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards in the Northeast of France.
Mosel River Loops
The spectacular winding river loops and steep vineyard terraces of the Mosel Valley during the descent into Hahn.
The right side is the 'city side' for Lisbon. For the best views of the Mosel River loops, which are a highlight of the HHN approach, sit on the right. During sunset flights, this side will catch the golden hour light over the European countryside, though it may be bright in the afternoon.
Costa da Prata
Dramatic views of the Portuguese 'Silver Coast' and the Atlantic surf shortly after takeoff.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible as the flight crosses the Cantabrian coast.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the route transitions from the Iberian Peninsula to France.
Loire Valley
The patchwork fields and historic chateaus of central France are often visible through clear skies.
Ardennes Forest
Dense, rolling green hills spanning the border regions of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides the best perspective of the rugged Atlantic coastline during the initial climb out of Lisbon. Look out for the Berlengas Islands if the flight path tracks slightly offshore.
