ACE → BOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of scenic departures from the Canary Islands, views of the rugged Iberian and French coastlines, and a panoramic approach over the Isle of Wight and the English south coast.
La Graciosa
A stunning aerial view of the small, roadless island and the Chinijo Archipelago just north of Lanzarote's coast.
Galician Rias
The jagged and beautiful fjord-like estuaries of Northwest Spain as the flight path skirts the edge of the Iberian Peninsula.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, rocky coastline of western France, including the famous naval port area of Brest.
Isle of Wight
A brilliant perspective of The Needles and the entire island as the plane turns for its final approach into BOH.
The Solent
Busy shipping lanes and the sprawling natural harbor of Poole are often visible just before touchdown.
The right side is significantly more scenic for land-spotting. For the best views of the Spanish and French coasts, morning flights provide the clearest lighting without sun glare. Be ready with your camera as you cross the English Channel for the iconic Isle of Wight landmarks.
Timanfaya Hinterland
Dramatic views of the scorched volcanic landscapes and craters of northern Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
Atlantic Vastness
A peaceful and uninterrupted view of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the mid-flight duration.
Oceanic Sunset
On late afternoon or evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the water.
Ouessant Island
The westernmost tip of Brittany, France, often visible as a remote lighthouse-topped rock in the Celtic Sea.
Jurassic Coast
The golden sands and white chalk cliffs of the Dorset coastline appearing during the final descent into Bournemouth.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to witness a sunset over the Atlantic. It is also the quieter side for those looking to avoid the bright glare of the morning sun during the northbound journey.
