Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience by tracking the diverse Atlantic coastline, from the rugged 'Rias' of Galicia to the historic cliffs of Normandy and the impressive Dutch delta works.
Search flights from OPO to EIN
Galician Rias
Deep, fjord-like coastal inlets along the northwestern coast of Spain shortly after takeoff.
Brittany Peninsula
The rocky western tip of France featuring jagged cliffs and remote lighthouses.
Normandy Coastline
Clear views of the historic D-Day landing beaches and the mouth of the River Seine.
English Channel
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often filled with container ships and ferries.
Zeeland Delta
The massive North Sea protection barriers and intricate islands of the southwestern Netherlands.
Choose the left side for evening flights to capture the sunset over the Atlantic. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the Dutch coastline's unique geometric sea defenses. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-20 on most A320/B737) to ensure an unobstructed view of the French coastline.

Picos de Europa
The dramatic, limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and vast vineyard landscapes.
Parisian Horizon
On very clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower are visible in the distance to the east.
Brussels Urban Area
The dense metropolitan sprawl of the Belgian capital and the distinctive Atomium structure.
Eindhoven City
Direct views of the Philips Stadium and the 'Evolution' building during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. As the plane enters Dutch airspace, the right side provides the best view of the Eindhoven city center and the high-tech campus areas just before touchdown. Watch for the Picos de Europa mountains roughly 20-30 minutes after departure from Porto.
