Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lisbon to Rabat. Left seats provide better views on both legs: Lisbon's waterfront on departure and Rabat's medina and river estuary on arrival. The route itself crosses the Atlantic with limited ground features, so the endpoints matter most.

During takeoff from Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Lisbon typically departs runway 03 (northeast) or 21 (southwest). Right-side seats on a northeast departure give you the Tagus River estuary and the city's waterfront districts spreading below. On a southwest departure, right seats face back toward central Lisbon and the Serra da Arrábida hills across the water. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary with its distinctive wide mouth, Cristo Rei monument on the south bank, Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge, Serra da Arrábida ridge line to the southeast.

When landing at Sale (RBA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Rabat-Salé typically uses runway 01 (north) or 19 (south). Left-side seats on approach give you the Bouregreg River valley, the medina of Rabat with its kasbah walls, and the Atlantic coastline. The river's distinctive green-brown color and the contrast between the old city and modern districts are clearly visible. Notable sights include: Bouregreg River with its wide estuary mouth, Rabat's medina and Kasbah des Oudaias with whitewashed walls, Sale's urban area on the north bank, Atlantic coastline with beach formations.

The flight from Lisboa (LIS) to Sale (RBA) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean between Portugal and Morocco. After leaving the Portuguese coast, you'll pass over open water with no significant landmarks visible. The approach to Morocco brings the Atlas Mountains into view on the eastern horizon (80+ miles away, appearing as a faint ridge), and the Moroccan coastline becomes visible about 30 minutes before landing, with the coastal plains around Casablanca and Rabat gradually becoming distinct.
