ACEZAZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Zaragoza Air Base (Zaragoza)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual journey, starting with aerial views of the neighboring Canary Islands, moving across the iconic Doñana wetlands, and concluding with a scenic approach over the Moncayo massif and the Ebro Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Fuerteventura & Lobos

Breathtaking views of the sand dunes of Corralejo and the neighboring island of Fuerteventura during climb-out.

🦢

Doñana National Park

The intricate mosaic of marshes, lagoons, and sand dunes at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River.

🏙️

Seville Metro Area

Clear views of the Andalusian capital, its cathedral, and the winding Guadalquivir riverbed.

🏔️

Moncayo Massif

The highest peak in the Iberian System, serving as a landmark before beginning the descent into Zaragoza.

💧

Ebro River Valley

The fertile green ribbon of the Ebro River winding through the arid Aragonese landscape on final approach.

The right side is essential for seeing the other Canary Islands at the start. During the descent into Zaragoza (ZAZ), keep your camera ready for the Moncayo mountain. Afternoon flights on this side offer beautiful warm light across the Spanish Meseta, though window shades might be needed for a short period.

🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Dramatic view of the volcanic 'Fire Mountains' of Northern Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Algarve Horizon

Distant views of the Portuguese coastline as the aircraft transitions from the Atlantic to the mainland.

🏔️

Sierra de Gredos

The snow-capped granite peaks of the Central System mountains visible during the cruise phase.

🏰

Extremadura Plains

The vast, golden landscapes of the dehesas and historic towns like Trujillo passing below.

Sit on the left for the best views of the North Lanzarote coastline and the Chinijo Archipelago during the initial climb. For morning flights, this side is ideal as it avoids the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic.
