Search flights from SXF to LIS
Berlin Southern Suburbs
Aerial views of Berlin's southern forests and the sprawling outskirts shortly after takeoff from the Schönefeld area.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain, often including Aneto, the range's highest point.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plateau of central Spain, featuring golden plains, ancient villages, and rugged terrain.
Tagus River & Lisbon City
On the standard approach to Runway 21, see the 25 de Abril Bridge, Alfama district, and the Praça do Comércio.
Alentejo Interior
The rolling hills and cork oak forests of central Portugal as the plane begins its descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Pyrenees. If the plane lands from the north (standard), the left side provides the 'postcard' view of Lisbon's red roofs and riverfront.

Bay of Biscay Coastline
The rugged western coast of France and the deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.
Picos de Europa
The limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible in the distance as the flight crosses the Cantabrian coast.
Sintra & Cabo da Roca
The mystical Sintra mountains and the westernmost point of continental Europe visible during the descent.
Portuguese Silver Coast
The long, sandy Atlantic beaches stretching from Nazaré down toward the Lisbon peninsula.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for the unique shape of the Peniche peninsula. If the wind requires a landing from the south, the right side offers a great view of the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
