TLS → LIS
Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning mountain views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees and the most iconic views of the Lisbon city center and the Vasco da Gama Bridge during the final approach.

Central Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the highest, often snow-capped peaks of the range shortly after takeoff.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude plains of Spain featuring geometric crop patterns and earthy red tones.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A bird's-eye view of Europe's longest bridge stretching across the wide Tagus Estuary.
Lisbon Old Town
Unmatched views of the Alfama district, the São Jorge Castle, and the iconic red rooftops during the final approach into Runway 21.
Tagus River Mouth
The massive estuary where the river meets the ocean, often filled with cruise ships and ferries.
This is the premier side for the 'Lisbon approach.' For morning flights, the sun illuminates the city perfectly for photos. If the wind is from the north, you will fly directly over the city center; if from the south, you'll see the 25 de Abril Bridge in the distance. Keep your camera ready as soon as the flaps deploy.

Toulouse Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River as the aircraft climbs away from Blagnac.
Western Pyrenees
Vistas of the lower, lush green peaks where the mountain range transitions toward the Atlantic coast.
Costa de Prata
Portugal's 'Silver Coast' comes into view during descent, featuring the massive waves of Nazaré in the distance.
Sintra Mountains
Distant views of the Pena Palace and the rugged hills of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.
Choose the left side for coastal views and to avoid the direct afternoon sun when flying west. Look out for the Berlengas archipelago off the coast of Peniche about 20 minutes before landing. In winter, this side catches the sunset reflections beautifully over the Atlantic.
