Timanfaya National Park
Dramatic 'Martian' landscapes and basaltic lava fields visible shortly after departure from ACE.
El Cotillo Coastline
The rugged western shore of Fuerteventura featuring wild surf and hidden turquoise lagoons.
Betancuria Massif
Ancient volcanic mountains and deep ravines forming the spine of central Fuerteventura.
Las Palmas Cityscape
A sweeping view of the Gran Canaria capital, including the 'La Isleta' peninsula and Las Canteras beach.
Roque Nublo
On clear days, see the iconic volcanic monolith rising from the center of Gran Canaria during descent.
The right side is unbeatable for volcanic photography. During takeoff, the aircraft usually banks, providing a perfect angle over the Montañas del Fuego. On the approach to LPA, keep your camera ready for the Las Palmas skyline. Afternoon flights might experience some sun glare, so polarizing filters are recommended for photos.

Puerto del Carmen
View the golden beaches and turquoise waters of Lanzarote's busiest resort town immediately after takeoff.
Isla de Lobos
A small, uninhabited volcanic island sitting in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
The vast, white Saharan-style dunes of northern Fuerteventura contrasting with the deep blue Atlantic.
Puerto del Rosario
The capital of Fuerteventura, where you can often see large cruise ships docked in the harbor.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Atlantic without direct glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the narrow crossing between the islands. Choose a seat toward the rear of the aircraft to avoid wing obstruction when looking down at the Lobos nature reserve.
