LIS β LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
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.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A stunning view of Europe's second-longest bridge spanning the Tagus River estuary.
Pyrenees Mountains
Spectacular views of the high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys marking the border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
Observe the ancient volcanic landscapes and rugged plateaus of central France.
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.
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.
