Arrecife & Costa Teguise
Aerial views of Lanzarote's capital and eastern resort areas shortly after departure.
Iberian Coastline
Distant views of the Portuguese and Galician coasts depending on the specific flight path.
Bay of Biscay
The French coastline near La Rochelle and the mouth of the Loire River.
Western Europe
Visuals of the dense urban landscapes of Belgium and the Netherlands during the cruise phase.
Hamburg Port & Alster
Stunning views of the Elbe River, the massive container port, and the Alster lakes on final approach.
The right side is preferred for land-based landmarks. During the descent, you are more likely to see the iconic Hamburg city skyline and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall if the wind dictates a northern approach. Ensure your window is clean for the departure to capture the contrast between the white buildings of Arrecife and the dark volcanic earth.

Wadden Sea
Intricate tidal mudflats and sandbanks of the UNESCO World Heritage site near the German border.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the water during late afternoon or evening departures. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the red volcanic soil of Lanzarote and look for the unique geometric patterns of the Wadden Sea mudflats about 20 minutes before landing.
