Which side of the plane to sit from Lajes Airport (Lajes (terceira Island)) to Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Azorean landscape upon departure and is generally better positioned for the scenic approach over the Douro River into Porto.

Serra do Cume
The famous patchwork fields and the massive volcanic caldera of Terceira immediately after takeoff.
Praia da Vitória
The harbor and bay of Praia da Vitória are perfectly visible as the plane turns east.
Douro Mouth
The scenic entry point where the Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean during the descent.
Porto Skyline
Panoramic views of the historic Ribeira district, the Clérigos Tower, and the city's red-tiled roofs.
Dom Luís I Bridge
The iconic iron bridge crossing the Douro, visible if the approach path curves over the city.
The right side is essential for the departure phase to see Terceira's most famous landmarks. During landing at OPO, if the wind is from the north (Runway 17), the right side offers the best views of the Douro River and Porto’s historic center. Note that morning flights will face direct sun on this side.
