Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Atlantic coastline, the rugged cliffs of Brittany, and the impressive volcanic crater of La Palma upon departure.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Caldera de Taburiente

An incredible aerial view of the massive volcanic crater on La Palma immediately after departure.

🌊

Portuguese Riviera

Panoramic views of the Lisbon coastline and the mouth of the Tagus River as the flight moves north.

🌉

Porto & Douro River

The scenic landscape of Northern Portugal where the Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

🏰

Brittany Coastline

The jagged, rocky shores and lighthouses of the northwestern tip of France.

🏢

Ruhr Valley Urbanism

A view of the dense urban and industrial landscape of Germany's largest metropolitan region.

On morning flights, the sun is on the right side, making the left side much better for glare-free photography. Keep your camera ready during the first 5-10 minutes of flight for the best volcano shots. Use a polarized filter if possible to cut through the ocean haze over the Atlantic.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Mount Teide

Spain's highest peak on the neighboring island of Tenerife is visible on the eastern horizon shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Dramatic limestone mountain ranges in Northern Spain often visible during the transit across Iberia.

🍷

Loire Valley

The sinuous curves of France's longest river winding through green valleys and chateaux territory.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

The deep green, rolling forested hills along the border of Belgium and Germany.

🥨

Düsseldorf City & Rhine

Excellent views of the Rhine river and the Düsseldorf skyline depending on the landing runway approach.

Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon, as the sunset over the Atlantic will be visible from the left, while the right side will enjoy softer, golden light. If the flight lands towards the east, you may get a perfect view of the Düsseldorf TV Tower.
