LISSXF

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for its dramatic departure views over the Portuguese Atlantic coast and the likelihood of seeing the Paris skyline and the northern German plains on approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Sintra-Cascais Coast

Breathtaking views of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, immediately after takeoff from Lisbon.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial perspective of the winding Loire River and the famous French chateaus dotting the landscape.

🗼

Paris Cityscape

On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the distinct circular layout of Paris are often visible in the distance to the north.

🚜

North German Plain

A vast tapestry of green and yellow agricultural fields as you cross from the Rhineland toward Brandenburg.

🏙️

Berlin City Center

Depending on the wind direction, the final descent offers a spectacular view of the TV Tower and the Spree River.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Portuguese coast. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes for photography through France and Germany.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Iberian Meseta

The rugged, arid high plateaus of central Spain offering a stark, orange-hued contrast to the coastal regions.

🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

A distant but majestic view of the snow-capped peaks separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

The neatly organized rows of world-famous vineyards in eastern France as the flight path moves toward the Rhine.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense, dark green forest cover and rolling hills in the heart of Germany near the city of Erfurt.

⛲

Potsdam Palaces

Just before landing at SXF/BER, look for the sprawling gardens and historic architecture of the Sanssouci area.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Iberian and French landscapes. During winter months, the right side captures the best alpine light reflected from the distant southern ranges.
