Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views when approaching France, including the possibility of spotting Mont Saint-Michel and the historic Normandy coastline before landing north of Paris.
Chinijo Archipelago
Aerial views of La Graciosa and the smaller northern islets shortly after takeoff from Lanzarote.
Bay of Biscay Crossing
Vast ocean views with the possibility of seeing container ships entering European shipping lanes.
Mont Saint-Michel
On clear days, the iconic island monastery is often visible near the Brittany and Normandy border.
Normandy Coastline
Detailed views of the D-Day landing beaches and the rugged cliffs of northern France during descent.
Picardy Plains
The geometric patchwork of French agricultural fields as the plane maneuvers for the BVA approach.
For evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Atlantic. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct circular silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel. If landing from the north, you will have a perfect view of the Oise region's rural charm.
Lanzarote Interior
Views of the stark volcanic landscape and the unique circular vineyards of La Geria during climb.
Loire Estuary
Distant views of Saint-Nazaire and the winding Loire river as the flight enters French airspace.
Paris Skyline
In high visibility, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense can be spotted on the southern horizon.
Beauvais Cathedral
The massive Gothic Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais is visible just moments before touchdown.
Vexin Français
The lush green forests and valleys of the regional natural park located south of the airport.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. It offers the best chance to see the distant Paris skyline if the flight path remains south of Beauvais. It also provides a better view of Lanzarote's eastern resorts like Costa Teguise immediately after departure.
