Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Swiss Alps and the northern edge of the Pyrenees, providing a more dramatic mountainous backdrop throughout the flight's mid-to-late stages.
Douro Valley
The terraced vineyards and winding river of Portugal's famous wine region visible immediately after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
The snow-capped border between Spain and France provides a jagged, high-altitude horizon to the south.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged green landscapes of central France.
Swiss Alps Panorama
A breathtaking long-range view of the Swiss and Austrian Alps as the plane cruises toward Southern Germany.
Lake Constance (South)
The stunning southern shore bordering Switzerland and Austria, featuring the island of Lindau.
The right side is the 'Alpine Side.' Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps in the distance. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best views of the Allgäu foothills.
Costa Verde
View the rugged Atlantic coastline of Northern Spain and the Bay of Biscay shortly after departure.
Gijón and Santander
Major Spanish port cities visible along the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often showing heavy maritime traffic heading toward the English Channel.
Lake Constance (North)
The northern German shore of the Bodensee, including the Friedrichshafen area, during the descent.
Sit on the left for coastal views of the Iberian Peninsula. It is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Bay of Biscay. This side stays cooler during midday flights heading northeast.
