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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the volcanic northern tip of Lanzarote upon departure and provides the best perspective of the Doñana National Park and the Guadiana river delta when approaching the Spanish mainland.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Arrecife & Costa Teguise

Immediate views of the Lanzarote capital and the rugged eastern coastline during the initial climb.

🏝️

Chinijo Archipelago

Aerial perspective of La Graciosa and the smaller volcanic islets of Montaña Clara and Alegranza to the north.

🌊

Atlantic Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight heads northeast toward the Iberian Peninsula.

🇵🇹

Guadiana River Delta

The natural border between Spain and Portugal, visible as a winding silver line entering the ocean.

🦆

Doñana National Park

Vast marshlands and lagoons of one of Europe's most important wetlands, shimmering before the descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the intricate patterns of the Doñana wetlands and the Guadalquivir river mouth.

Right Side Highlights

🔥

Timanfaya Interior

A distant view of the volcanic 'Fire Mountains' in the center of Lanzarote shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Fuerteventura Distant View

On clear days, the northern dunes of Corralejo on the neighboring island are visible to the south.

⚓

Bay of Cádiz

As the plane approaches the mainland, the historic port city of Cádiz and its iconic bridge can often be spotted.

🌾

Guadalquivir Valley

The fertile agricultural plains surrounding Seville, characterized by golden fields and olive groves.

🏰

Sevilla Outskirts

Views of the sprawling southern suburbs and the Aljarafe hills during the final banking turn.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach to SVQ, you might see the silhouette of the Giralda tower if the flight path circles the city from the south.
