ACE β LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular aerial views of Lanzarote's volcanic terrain immediately after takeoff, followed by expansive views of the Iberian Peninsula and the rugged Picos de Europa before crossing into France.
Timanfaya National Park
Stunning views of the 'Mountains of Fire' and crater-filled volcanic landscapes during the initial climb from ACE.
Sahara Dust Haze
Unique atmospheric views of 'Calima' dust layers often visible looking east toward the African continent.
Picos de Europa
The snow-capped peaks of Northern Spain provide a dramatic contrast to the earlier island scenery.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the world-famous French vineyards as the plane crosses the Gironde region.
Ardennes Forest
Dense, rolling green hills and deep river valleys of the Ardennes region as you descend into Luxembourg.
Luxembourg City
Clear views of the Kirchberg district and the deep Alzette valley during the final approach to Findel.
The right side is the clear winner for the departure from Lanzarote; sit here to see the iconic volcanic craters. For the best lighting on the scenery, choose a morning or early afternoon flight to have the sun behind you. This side also typically offers better views of Luxembourg City's skyline on the standard approach to Runway 24.
La Graciosa
Dramatic views of the small island and the Chinijo Archipelago immediately north of Lanzarote after departure.
Atlantic Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged Portuguese coastline and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Lisbon Peninsula
Distant views of the Tagus River estuary and the westernmost tip of continental Europe.
Bay of Biscay
Observation of maritime traffic entering the English Channel and the French Atlantic ports.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its famous historic chΓ’teaux visible as the flight enters central France.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic. During the approach to LUX, this side often provides a broader view of the Luxembourgish plateau, though it may be subject to glare during afternoon northbound flights.
