Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Cork Airport (Cork)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer volcanic and coastal beauty, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the bustling Cork Harbour and the intricate outlines of the Iberian coastline across the Bay of Biscay.

Arrecife & Costa Teguise
Panoramic views of Lanzarote's capital and eastern resort coastlines during the initial climb.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant silhouettes of the Portuguese shore, including Cabo de São Vicente, on high-visibility days.
Picos de Europa
Distant peaks of Northern Spain may be visible while crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Cork Harbour
Stunning views of one of the world's largest natural harbours, including Spike Island and Cobh.
Roche's Point
The historic lighthouse marking the entrance to the shipping lanes of Cork city.
Sit on the right for the best views of the approach into Cork, as the plane often banks over the harbour, offering views of the colorful town of Cobh. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the greener waters of the Celtic Sea.
