LIS โ STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure view of the Tagus River and Lisbon's iconic bridges, followed by a panoramic view of the Pyrenees and the picturesque Black Forest during descent.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A stunning aerial view of Europe's second-longest bridge spanning the Tagus River estuary.
The Pyrenees
The snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France are often visible on the southern horizon.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France provide a rugged terrain view.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of Baden-Wรผrttemberg during the approach to Stuttgart.
Stuttgart Basin
Final views of the city's unique topography, including the Mercedes-Benz Arena and TV Tower.
Sit on the right for the iconic departure over Lisbon's riverfront. In winter, the late afternoon sun illuminates the Pyrenees and Black Forest beautifully. Aim for a window seat in the middle-to-back section for the best perspective during the banking turns into Stuttgart Airport.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Portuguese 'Silver Coast' during the initial climb out of Lisbon.
Picos de Europa
Limestone massifs of Northern Spain visible as the flight crosses the Cantabrian range.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and glimpses of historic French chateaux in the central regions.
Paris Distant View
On very clear days, the skyline of the French capital may be visible on the far northern horizon.
Rhine River
The major European waterway marking the transition from French to German airspace.
The left side is ideal for avoiding the harsh southern sun glare during daytime flights. It offers the best perspective of the Portuguese coast and the Rhine Valley. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Loire river bends.
