Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of Mediterranean highlights, including direct views of the Balearic archipelago and the glamorous French and Italian Rivieras.
Canary Outliers
Aerial views of northern Fuerteventura and the small Isla de Lobos immediately after departure.
Balearic Islands
Often flies directly over or south of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca, offering crystal-clear turquoise water views.
French Riviera
Stunning vistas of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the city-state of Monaco and the city of Nice.
Ligurian Coast
The bustling port of Genoa and the dramatic cliffs of the Italian Riviera as the plane turns toward Bologna.
Apennine Mountains
A scenic crossing of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines during the descent phase into the Emilia-Romagna region.
The right side is the 'coastline side.' For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Mediterranean islands. In winter, the Apennines may be snow-covered, providing a beautiful contrast to the sea views seen earlier in the flight.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Last views of the rugged volcanic craters and the northern island of La Graciosa shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its distinctive golden and brown agricultural patchwork.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are visible far to the north while crossing the Mediterranean.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping southern coastline of France including the marshes of the Camargue region.
Po Valley
The fertile, flat industrial and agricultural heartland of Northern Italy during the final approach.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to avoid direct glare and to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and the Spanish interior. It offers a broader perspective of the European landmass and the distant Alpine range.
