LIS β†’ LUX

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer scenic departures and arrivals, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains and the volcanic regions of central France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸŒ‰

Vasco da Gama Bridge

A stunning view of Europe's second-longest bridge spanning the Tagus River estuary.

πŸ”οΈ

Pyrenees Mountains

Spectacular views of the high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys marking the border between Spain and France.

πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Observe the ancient volcanic landscapes and rugged plateaus of central France.

πŸ‡

Moselle Valley

During descent, view the winding Moselle river and its steep, terraced vineyards near the Luxembourgish border.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the Pyrenees beautifully. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes into the flight for the mountain crossing. On the approach to LUX, look for the sharp bends of the Moselle river.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ™οΈ

Lisbon Historic Center

Aerial views of the Alfama district, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the Cristo Rei monument immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Silver Coast

Breathtaking views of the rugged Atlantic coastline of Portugal as the aircraft tracks north.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Glance down at the sprawling estates and the Garonne river in southwestern France.

🏰

Loire Valley ChΓ’teaux

Spot some of France's most famous historic castles nestled along the Loire River.

Sit on the left for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for viewing the Lisbon city center and the dramatic coastal cliffs of northern Portugal. Look for the bay of San Sebastian as you transition from Spain to France.
