Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lisbon to Montreal. Right side offers superior scenery on departure with the Tagus estuary and Lisbon waterfront. While landing favors the left, the takeoff experience is more visually distinctive and the flight path crosses the Atlantic where right-side views of the Irish coast and Greenland's glaciated terrain (if visible at altitude) provide dramatic mid-flight interest.

Over the Atlantic, you'll pass south of Ireland and the UK. The flight typically crosses the North Atlantic at high altitude (33,000-35,000 feet), where Greenland's ice sheet may be visible on clear days as a vast white expanse on the right side. The Grand Banks off Newfoundland appear as a subtle change in ocean color. As you approach North America, the Canadian Maritime provinces and the St. Lawrence River valley become visible, with the Appalachian Mountains running northeast-southwest visible as a forested ridge system.
