Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a breathtaking sequence of the Portuguese coastline, the rugged limestone cliffs of Arrábida, and a panoramic view of the Doñana wetlands before arrival.
Costa da Caparica
Miles of golden sand beaches stretching south from the mouth of the Tagus River.
Arrábida Natural Park
Stunning white limestone cliffs and turquoise bays between Setúbal and Sesimbra.
Sado Estuary
The unique sandspit of the Troia Peninsula and the geometric patterns of the salt pans.
Doñana National Park
One of Europe's most significant wetlands, visible as a mosaic of marshes near the Spanish coast.
Guadalquivir Delta
The winding progress of the great Andalusian river through the flat marshlands into Seville.
The right side is the scenic winner for its coastal views. To avoid the glare of the southern sun, book afternoon flights when the sun is to the west. Watch closely for the Arrábida cliffs roughly 10 minutes after takeoff; they are the visual highlight of the journey.
Tagus River & Bridges
Aerial view of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the vast Tagus estuary immediately after departure.
Lisbon Historic Center
Direct views of the Alfama district, the São Jorge Castle, and the geometric Baixa Pombalina.
Alentejo Plains
The characteristic 'montado' landscape of cork oak forests and whitewashed rural estates.
Sierra Morena
The transition into Spain marked by the rugged, dark peaks of the Sierra Morena mountain range.
Northern Seville
Views of the Olympic Stadium and the Alamillo Bridge during the final approach path.
Sit on the left for the best view of Lisbon's urban layout during departure. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Portuguese plains and the Spanish mountains with clear, sharp light.
