Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport (Natal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, featuring the Portuguese Riviera immediately after takeoff and the iconic Morro do Careca beach landmark upon arrival in Natal.
Cascais Coastline
The beautiful beaches and rocky coves of the Portuguese Riviera as the aircraft heads out to sea.
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of continental Europe, visible as rugged cliffs meeting the Atlantic.
Canary Islands
Possible distant views of islands like La Palma or Tenerife depending on the specific oceanic airway assigned.
Morro do Careca
Natal's most famous landmark, a large dune and forest area at the end of Ponta Negra beach.
Natal Cityscape
A complete view of the coastal skyscrapers and the urban layout of the 'City of the Sun'.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. To ensure a clear view of the Brazilian coastline and Natal's famous beaches, select a seat well ahead of or behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze and obstruction.
Lisbon Skyline
A brief view of the historic Alfama district and the white domes of the city center if taking off to the south.
25 de Abril Bridge
A stunning perspective of the suspension bridge crossing the Tagus River shortly after departure.
Oceanic Sunrise
Ideal for overnight flights to witness the sun rising over the vast Atlantic horizon.
Genipabu Dunes
The expansive white sand dunes located north of Natal, visible during the final descent phase.
On morning flights, the left side will experience direct sunlight and glare, making photography difficult. For the best departure views, hope for a southern takeoff (Runway 17) to see the Tagus estuary and the Christ the King statue.
