Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Timanfaya volcanic fields upon departure and the stunning Corralejo sand dunes during the approach into Fuerteventura.
Timanfaya National Park
The 'Mountains of Fire' offer a surreal lunar landscape of lava fields and red volcanic craters.
Playa Blanca
View of the southern resort town and the beautiful white sand beaches of Papagayo.
Isla de Lobos
A bird's-eye view of the small, uninhabited volcanic islet located just off the coast of Fuerteventura.
Corralejo Dunes
The spectacular 'Dunas de Corralejo' natural park, where massive white sand dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean.
North Volcanoes
The series of extinct volcanic cones lining the northern ridge of Fuerteventura near Lajares.
This is one of the most scenic short flights in the world; sit on the right for the iconic view of the Corralejo dunes. Since the flight is typically under 30 minutes, you will remain at a relatively low altitude, providing excellent detail of the terrain. Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun illuminates the volcanic craters from the east.
Arrecife Cityscape
A clear view of the capital city of Lanzarote and its busy maritime harbor immediately after takeoff.
Los Ajaches Natural Park
The oldest volcanic mountains on Lanzarote, featuring rugged peaks and deep erosion valleys.
Bocayna Strait
The turquoise waters of the channel separating the two islands, often dotted with ferries and yachts.
Puerto del Rosario
View of Fuerteventura's capital city and its industrial port as the plane descends.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. While less dramatic than the right, you get a great sense of the scale of the eastern coastline. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best shots of Arrecife.
