OPO → BRE
Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft provides superior coastal views, featuring the dramatic cliffs of Brittany, the busy English Channel shipping lanes, and the unique geography of the Wadden Sea islands during the descent.
Atlantic Coastline
Breathtaking views of the northern Portuguese and Spanish coasts shortly after takeoff from OPO.
Brittany Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the rugged French coastline and the islands of the Bay of Biscay.
English Channel
High-altitude views of the narrow maritime passage between France and the United Kingdom.
Dutch Dunes
The sandy stretches of the Netherlands coast and the expansive North Sea wind farms.
Wadden Sea Islands
The unique tidal flats and chain of Frisian Islands visible during the approach to Bremen.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind or above the plane, highlighting the coastal colors without glare. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, look for the distinct patterns of the tidal marshes near the German coast.
Peneda-Gerês Park
The rugged mountains and deep valleys of northern Portugal's only national park.
Loire Valley
Vast stretches of French vineyards and the winding rivers of central France.
Benelux Urban Centers
Dense clusters of industrial and residential areas around Antwerp and Brussels.
North German Plain
The characteristic flat, green agricultural landscape of Lower Saxony.
Bremen Suburbs
The outskirts of Bremen and the winding Weser river as the plane lines up for landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side offers a better look at the inland geography and the transition from the Iberian mountains to the flat plains of Northern Europe. Keep an eye out for the large river systems of France and Germany.
