Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides an exceptional balance of landmarks, including a potential view of Lisbon city upon takeoff, the jagged French coastline of Brittany, and the scenic approach over the English Peak District.

Tejo Estuary
Unrivaled views of the Vasco da Gama Bridge and the expansive Tagus river.
Peneda-Gerês
The granite peaks and deep valleys of Portugal's only National Park near the Spanish border.
Brittany Peninsula
The rocky, indented coastline of Western France is often visible across the Bay of Biscay.
English Midlands
A patchwork of green fields, industrial heritage sites, and the city of Birmingham.
The Peak District
Stunning moorlands and valleys visible during the final approach into Manchester.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the English countryside. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to get a clear shot of the Tejo Estuary during the climb. On the descent, look for the 'Green Lung' of the Peak District just before landing.

Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Portuguese 'Silver Coast' and the massive waves of Nazaré.
Sintra-Cascais
Lush green hills and historic palaces visible just minutes after departure from Lisbon.
Land's End
The westernmost tip of Cornwall, featuring rugged cliffs and turquoise waters.
Cardigan Bay
Vast views of the Welsh coastline and the Irish Sea as the flight enters UK airspace.
Snowdonia
On clear days, the peaks of North Wales are visible during the descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the dramatic surf of the Portuguese coast. If the flight path swings wide over the Celtic Sea, you will have a front-row seat to the lighthouses of Cornwall.
