LPL β LIS
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most diverse scenery, including the departure views of Liverpool's cityscape, the rugged mountains of North Wales and Northern Spain, and a spectacular view of the Tagus River upon arrival in Lisbon.
Liverpool & Mersey
Direct views of the Albert Dock, Liverpool city center, and the Mersey Estuary shortly after takeoff.
Snowdonia National Park
Clear views of the highest peaks in Wales as the flight heads south towards the Celtic Sea.
Bay of Biscay Crossing
The transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the rugged cliffs of the Spanish coastline near GijΓ³n.
Picos de Europa
Stunning views of the limestone massifs in Northern Spain as the aircraft crosses the coastline.
Douro River Valley
The winding river and terraced vineyards of Portugal's famous wine region visible in the distance.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A breathtaking view of Europe's second-longest bridge stretching across the Tagus Estuary during final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze. Morning flights offer excellent front-lit views of the Welsh mountains. On approach to Lisbon, keep your camera ready for the Tagus River; if the plane lands on Runway 03, you will have a perfect view of the Parque das NaΓ§Γ΅es district.
Anglesey & Holyhead
Aerial perspective of the Welsh islands and the ferry routes across to Ireland.
Celtic Sea
Spot large cargo vessels and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Costa Verde
The lush, green Atlantic coastline of Northern Portugal and the city of Porto far below.
Sintra Mountains
The misty peaks and historic palaces of Sintra are visible if the flight path follows the coastline.
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of continental Europe, where the land dramatically meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as you'll witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic. During the arrival phase, if the aircraft performs a loop over the ocean to line up with Runway 03, you may catch a glimpse of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the Christ the King statue in the distance.
