Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of Europe's major mountain ranges, including the Picos de Europa, a distant view of the Pyrenees, and the volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🍇

Douro River Valley

The world-famous terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley are visible immediately following departure from OPO.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The sharp, jagged limestone peaks of Spain's northern mountain range provide a stunning high-altitude visual.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A grand panorama of the snow-capped border between Spain and France stretching across the southern horizon.

🌋

Chaîne des Puys

Distinctive extinct volcanic cones of the Massif Central region in central France are clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🗻

The Alps & Mont Blanc

On clear days, the distant white peak of Mont Blanc and the Western Alps can be seen on the far horizon.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the mountains illuminated. The highlight is the Massif Central in France; look for the unique circular volcanic craters near Clermont-Ferrand about halfway through the journey.

🌊

Costa Verde

Dramatic views of the rugged Atlantic coastline and the northern Portuguese beaches shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Bay of Biscay

A sweeping view of the deep blue Atlantic and the northern Spanish ports of Gijón and Santander.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding loops of the Loire River and its surrounding historic chateaus as the flight enters central France.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

Dense green forests and rounded peaks of the Parc Naturel Régional des Vosges du Nord during the final descent.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. In the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep an eye out for the historic city center of Strasbourg (Grande Île) if the approach path passes north of the city.
