ACE β LEJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range and the lush landscapes of central France and Germany as you approach Leipzig.
Fuerteventura
Distant views of Lanzarote's southern neighbor visible during the initial ascent phase.
Pyrenees Mountains
The magnificent snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient mountain ranges in the heart of France.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green canopy of central Germany's forests visible as the aircraft begins its descent.
Leipzig Cityscape
Views of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the city center during final approach.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain enthusiasts; keep your eyes open roughly 2.5 hours into the flight for the Pyrenees. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfectly illuminated landscapes on the right.
Atlantic Expanse
Infinite vistas of the turquoise Atlantic Ocean immediately after departing Lanzarote.
La Graciosa
Excellent views of the northernmost Canary Island during the initial climb out of ACE.
Bay of Biscay
The sweeping coastline of western France if the flight path hugs the Atlantic edge.
Loire Valley
The winding river and historic chΓ’teau regions of central France from high altitude.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, ensuring better photography conditions. This side is ideal for spotting the French Atlantic coast if the flight path tracks more westerly.
