SID → STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Amílcar Cabral International Airport (Amilcar Cabral) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, showcasing the dramatic transition from the Saharan coast and Atlas Mountains to the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the lush Black Forest of Germany.
Western Saharan Coast
Stunning views where the orange sands of the Sahara meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic.
Moroccan Atlas Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas provide a dramatic vertical contrast to the desert.
Strait of Gibraltar
A clear view of the narrow passage between Africa and Europe, often dotted with massive cargo ships.
Sierra Nevada Range
Passing over the Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, located near the city of Granada.
French Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of southern central France.
The Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the aircraft enters German airspace.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On clear days, the crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar is a major highlight, occurring roughly halfway through the flight. During morning flights, expect bright sunlight; polarized sunglasses are recommended to see the geological textures of the Atlas and Sierra Nevada mountains.
Turquoise Sal Coastline
Aerial views of the white sand beaches and coral reefs of Sal as the plane climbs from SID.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and unique cloud formations over the open ocean.
Portuguese Coastline
Occasional distant views of the Algarve and the rugged southwestern cliffs of the Iberian Peninsula.
Loire Valley
Gliding over the fertile plains and historic agricultural patterns of Central France.
Karlsruhe and the Rhine
Visuals of the winding Rhine River and the fan-shaped layout of Karlsruhe during the descent.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into STR, it offers a wider view of the industrial and urban landscape of the Baden-Württemberg region. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the stark contrast between the desert island and the ocean.
