Sit on the left if you prefer views of the open ocean and the dramatic northern tip of Lanzarote. On afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare. This side is often better for seeing the North Sea coastline and the Delta Works of the Netherlands if the approach to Schiphol is from the west.
