ACE β STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Lanzarote's volcanic landscape upon departure, followed by a cross-section of the Iberian Peninsula and the dramatic Jura and Black Forest regions during the descent into Stuttgart.
Timanfaya Volcanics
Incredible views of the lunar landscapes and craters of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
Isla de Lobos
A clear view of the small island and the northern tip of Fuerteventura during the initial climb.
Spanish Meseta
The striking high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its distinct reddish soil and agriculture.
Pyrenees Edge
Distant snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing Spain and France.
Jura Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and deep valleys as the flight enters the heart of Europe.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald during the approach to Stuttgart.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of Lanzarote's volcanoes. During the descent into STR, look for the Swabian Alb and the vineyards of the Neckar Valley. Mid-day flights offer the best lighting for the Spanish terrain.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean shortly after leaving the Canary Islands.
Portuguese Coast
Distant views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Algarve and Lisbon regions.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the vast maritime expanse between Northern Spain and Western France.
Loire Valley
The patchwork fields and winding rivers of central France as you head toward Germany.
Sunset Views
On late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset colors over the wing.
Select the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset without direct glare. It is also the better side for spotting the lights of French cities like Nantes or OrlΓ©ans if flying after dark.
