Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of Lisbon's cityscape upon takeoff, the historic French coastline, and a more comprehensive view of the Greater London skyline during the approach to Luton.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸŒ‰

Vasco da Gama Bridge

One of Europe's longest bridges stretching across the wide Tagus River estuary.

🏠

Lisbon Baixa

A perfect aerial view of Lisbon's red-tiled roofs, the Alfama district, and the SΓ£o Jorge Castle.

🏝️

Mont Saint-Michel

The legendary medieval abbey on its rocky island is often visible when crossing the Normandy coast.

πŸŽ–οΈ

D-Day Beaches

The historic landing beaches of Normandy, including Omaha and Gold beaches, visible as you head toward the Channel.

🎑

London Panorama

On the standard arrival route, you can often see the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the winding River Thames to the south.

Sit on the right for the iconic Lisbon departure view. For photography, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French and English landscapes clearly. During the LTN approach, this side frequently provides views of Central London in the distance.

The lush green peaks of the Sintra mountains and the rugged cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.
