Strait of Gibraltar
Immediately after takeoff, witness the narrow gap between the Moroccan coast and the southern tip of Spain.
Algarve Coastline
View the iconic golden cliffs and turquoise coves of southern Portugal as you fly northward.
Alentejo Region
The rugged, wild coastline of the Alentejo offers a mix of secluded beaches and rolling agricultural plains.
Arrábida Natural Park
Stunning limestone cliffs and dense Mediterranean forest meeting the sea near Setúbal.
Tagus River & 25 de Abril Bridge
On the standard approach to LIS, enjoy a spectacular view of Lisbon's iconic red bridge and the Christ the King statue.
Sit on the Right Side for the most iconic landmarks. Most flights into Lisbon approach from the south, flying directly over the Tagus River. This provides a 'postcard' view of the city's historic center, the bridge, and the Vasco da Gama tower. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the Portuguese cliffs.

Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the vast North Atlantic horizon.
Maritime Shipping Lanes
Spot large container ships and tankers navigating the busy waters outside the Strait of Gibraltar.
Costa da Caparica
In the final minutes of the flight, you can see the long sandy stretches of Caparica just before crossing the river into Lisbon.
Choose the left side for evening departures to enjoy the sunset. Since the flight path often remains slightly offshore, the left side is primarily dominated by the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean, making it a quieter, more meditative view compared to the right.
