LIS β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to London Luton Airport (London)?
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.
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.
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.
Costa da Prata
Dramatic views of the Portuguese 'Silver Coast' and the massive Atlantic swells near NazarΓ©.
Sintra-Cascais
The lush green peaks of the Sintra mountains and the rugged cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic where you might spot large cargo vessels or whales in transit.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged western coastline of France including the port city of Brest and numerous lighthouses.
The Chilterns
Lush rolling hills and English countryside as the plane descends into the Bedfordshire area.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the Atlantic on late afternoon or evening flights. It is also the best side for seeing the raw power of the ocean waves hitting the Portuguese coast shortly after departure.
