Vasco da Gama Bridge
One of Europe's longest bridges stretching across the wide Tagus estuary.
Castilian Meseta
The high altitude plains of central Spain, characterized by golden fields and ancient fortified towns.
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto and the Maladeta Massif.
The Pink City
As the plane aligns with Toulouse-Blagnac, the terracotta roofs that give Toulouse its nickname become visible.
Sit on the right for the best departure views of Lisbon. For the most dramatic scenery, watch the window approximately 20 minutes before landing to see the snow-capped Pyrenees. Morning flights offer the best lighting without glare.
