Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a diverse tapestry of European landscapes, from the rugged mountains of Northern Iberia to the historic river valleys and world-famous vineyards of France and Germany.
Peneda-Gerês National Park
Lush green granite peaks and reservoirs located on the border between Portugal and Spain.
Cantabrian Mountains
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of Northern Spain stretching along the coast.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the Garonne river and some of the world's most famous wine estates.
Loire Valley
Glittering views of the 'Garden of France' featuring wide rivers and historic chateaux.
Hunsrück Mountains
The densely forested highlands surrounding Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, particularly beautiful in autumn.
Choose the right side for the best lighting during afternoon flights. Keep a close watch about 45 minutes into the flight for the Picos de Europa. During the descent, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the steep Moselle valley vineyards which are a hallmark of the region.
Atlantic Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged Portuguese and Spanish coasts shortly after departure from Porto.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the plane crosses the corner of the Atlantic towards France.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouette and sprawling lights of the French capital may be visible to the north.
Luxembourg City
Aerial perspective of the deep gorges and fortifications of the Grand Duchy during the final phase of flight.
Moselle Loops
Dramatic views of the winding Moselle River and its horseshoe bends near Cochem on the descent into Hahn.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the Atlantic horizon and the coastal architecture of Western France if the flight path hugs the shoreline.
