ORY → OPO
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic coastline, the Bay of Biscay, and the rugged, fjord-like Rias of Galicia before the final approach into Porto.
Bay of Biscay
Stunning transition from the French coast across the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
La Rochelle & Islands
Clear views of Île de Ré and the white sandy beaches of the Charente-Maritime coastline.
Cantabrian Mountains
The dramatic limestone cliffs and peaks of northern Spain meeting the sea as the flight bypasses the Asturias region.
Galician Rias
The unique, fjord-like sea inlets and the rugged coastline of Northwest Spain and the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, perfect for golden hour and sunset lighting.
Choose the right side for coastal drama. For the best views of the Galician coast, sit in front of or well behind the wing. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the sun reflects off the Atlantic.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic estates dotting the French countryside shortly after departure.
Pyrenees Horizon
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range are visible in the far distance to the south.
Peneda-Gerês
The lush, mountainous landscapes of Portugal's only national park as the plane begins its descent from the northeast.
Douro Valley
The famous terraced vineyards and the deep-cut curves of the Douro River as you approach the Porto region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French interior and the Douro valley. This side is ideal for spotting inland landmarks and the high peaks of the Iberian Peninsula in the distance.
