Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a dramatic perspective of the Canary Islands upon takeoff, followed by views of the Spanish mainland's northern coast and the lush French interior.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Fuerteventura Views

Aerial views of Lanzarote's neighbor and the stunning dunes of Corralejo.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

Snow-capped peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible in Northern Spain.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding Loire river and historic French chateaux from a high altitude.

🗼

Parisian Basin

Vast agricultural patterns and the urban sprawl of the Greater Paris region.

🌉

Rhine River

The crossing of the mighty Rhine as you descend towards Weeze.

Sit on the right side to witness the volcanic craters of Timanfaya National Park during the initial climb. For the best lighting, morning flights offer clear views of the Spanish coast without sun glare. During the final 30 minutes, watch for the intricate canal systems and river networks as the flight crosses into the Lower Rhine region.

🌋

Lanzarote Coastline

Rugged volcanic shores and turquoise waters as you head north.

🏙️

Flemish Region

Dense urban landscapes and industrial hubs of Belgium and the Netherlands.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunsets if flying in the late afternoon. As you approach the European mainland, look for the distinct lighthouse of Ushant and the rugged cliffs of the Breton coast. Stay alert for the shipping lanes in the English Channel as you descend towards the German-Dutch border.
