Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring an immediate view of Mount Teide upon departure and a continuous panorama of the Portuguese coastline during the descent into Porto.
Mount Teide
Unmatched views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Las Cañadas immediately after leaving Tenerife.
Lisbon & Tagus Estuary
As the flight crosses into Portugal, you can often see the sprawling city of Lisbon and the 25 de Abril Bridge in the distance.
Sintra-Cascais
Look for the lush green mountains of Sintra and the luxury coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril.
Nazaré Canyon
Clear views of the Praia do Norte, home to the world's largest surfable waves and the iconic lighthouse on the cliff.
Ria de Aveiro
The colorful salt pans and labyrinthine canals of the Aveiro lagoon create stunning geometric patterns from above.
Douro River Mouth
On the final approach, enjoy a spectacular view of the Douro River meeting the sea and the historic center of Porto.
Sit several rows behind the wing to ensure your view of Mount Teide isn't blocked. Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Portuguese coastline perfectly for photography.
Tenerife South Coast
Aerial views of the volcanic beaches and tourist resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides an unobstructed front-row seat to the sun setting over the vast Atlantic horizon.
Berlengas Archipelago
The small, rugged islands and lighthouse of the Berlengas Nature Reserve can be seen off the coast of Peniche.
Leixões Port
Final approach views of the major industrial port and the Atlantic waves breaking against the northern Portuguese shoreline.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset without the glare of the land. It is also the better side if the flight path takes a wider turn over the ocean before lining up with the OPO runway.
