ACE β BRE
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views immediately after takeoff, showcasing the Chinijo Archipelago, and later offers excellent views of the French Atlantic coastline.
Chinijo Archipelago
Stunning views of La Graciosa, MontaΓ±a Clara, and Alegranza islands shortly after departure from Lanzarote.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic water as the flight crosses from the Iberian Peninsula toward France.
Brittany Coastline
If the flight path hugs the coast, you can see the rugged peninsulas and islands of western France.
English Channel
Distant views of the busy shipping lanes and the horizon where the Atlantic meets the North Sea.
North German Plain
The transition into the flat, green landscapes of Lower Saxony as you approach Bremen.
Book a window seat on the left for the departure; the view of the smaller islands north of Lanzarote is world-class. On late afternoon flights, this side will experience the setting sun over the Atlantic, which is beautiful but may require closing the window shade for glare. Look out for the Dutch coastline if the flight takes a more westerly route into Germany.
Timanfaya National Park
View of the red and black volcanic 'Martian' landscapes of Lanzarote during the initial ascent.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain may be visible as you transition over the mainland.
Loire Valley
The winding rivers and agricultural patterns of central France, famous for its historic chateaus.
Ruhr Area
The dense industrial and urban clusters of Western Germany as the flight nears its destination.
Weser River
The major waterway leading into Bremen, often visible during the final descent and landing patterns.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. It offers better views of the European mainland's topography, including the transition from the arid Canary climate to the lush greenery of Northern Europe. Keep an eye out for Paris in the distance if the airway passes through central France.
