Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the European mainland, including the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote at takeoff, the rugged Portuguese and Spanish coastlines, and the lush river valleys of central France.
Timanfaya Volcanic Park
Immediately after takeoff, witness the 'Lunar' landscape of red and black volcanic craters in northern Lanzarote.
La Graciosa Island
The smallest inhabited Canary Island is clearly visible off the northern tip of Lanzarote shortly after departure.
The Silver Coast
High-altitude views of the Portuguese coastline, often including the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Picos de Europa
On clear days, the snow-capped limestone peaks of Northern Spain are visible as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the verdant, castle-dotted landscapes of central France appear during the descent phase.
Eindhoven Surroundings
Neat Dutch agricultural grids and the forested areas of North Brabant as the plane approaches the runway.
For the best land-based sightseeing, choose the right side. To maximize visibility, try to sit in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the volcanic craters. Morning flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the French and Spanish terrain below.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the cruise phase.
Maritime Cloudscapes
Spectacular 'popcorn' cloud formations that frequently develop over the warm currents of the Bay of Biscay.
Brittany Coastline
The jagged, rocky western tip of France and the English Channel entrance visible as you cross into northern Europe.
Rotterdam Port Area
On specific flight paths, the massive shipping infrastructure of the Dutch coast can be seen in the distance.
The left side is the preferred choice for late afternoon or evening flights. As the plane travels northeast, this side faces west, providing a front-row seat to a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. It is also generally better for those wanting a glare-free view during the first half of a morning flight.
