Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lisbon to Bogota. While landing favors the right, the dramatic Lisbon departure over the Tagus estuary and Atlantic coast is more visually rewarding than the approach to Bogota, which is largely obscured by the high-altitude plateau terrain until very close to landing.

During takeoff from Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Lisbon typically departs runway 03 (northeast) or 21 (southwest). Left seats offer the best view of the Tagus River estuary and the city's western waterfront during initial climb. Right seats face inland toward less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary, Lisbon city center and Baixa district, Cristo Rei monument across the river in Almada, Atlantic coastline to the west.

When landing at Eldorado International (BOG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Bogota's Eldorado airport (runway 13L/31R primary) sits on the high Andean plateau. Right seats during descent offer superior views of the Eastern Cordillera's dramatic peaks and the approach over the Bogota savanna. Left seats face away from the mountains toward less visually interesting terrain. Notable sights include: Eastern Cordillera peaks (Monserrate visible near the city), Bogota savanna plateau, Bogota city sprawl, Guadalupe peak to the southeast.

The flight from Lisboa (LIS) to Eldorado International (BOG) takes Approximately 9 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 6 hours with no significant landmarks visible—only open ocean. As the aircraft approaches South America, the northern coast of Venezuela and Colombia becomes visible, with the Caribbean Sea and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains appearing on the left (northern) side during the final 2-3 hours of descent. The Magdalena River valley may be visible as a darker linear feature in the landscape during the approach to Colombian airspace.
