ACE → ZRH
Which side of the plane to sit from Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife) to Zürich Airport (Zurich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to the Moroccan coastline, the dramatic central Pyrenees, and the most iconic peaks of the Swiss Alps including Mont Blanc in the distance during the final descent.

Moroccan Atlantic Coast
The stark contrast between the blue Atlantic and the edge of the North African desert plains.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
A glimpse of the sprawling Spanish capital and its iconic skyscrapers in the Cuatro Torres Business Area.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high-altitude border between Spain and France with jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
The Swiss Alps
Breathtaking panorama of the Bernese Oberland peaks and potentially Mont Blanc on the horizon.
Zurich City and Lake
The final approach often circles over Lake Zurich, offering views of the city's spires and waterfront.
Sit on the right for the best alpine scenery. Morning flights provide the most dramatic lighting on the Alps. During the approach into ZRH, the right side usually gets the better view of the city and the lake depending on the wind-directed runway in use (usually Runway 14 or 28).

Timanfaya National Park
Aerial views of Lanzarote's lunar-like volcanic craters and rust-colored lava fields shortly after takeoff.
Costa de la Luz
The sweeping Atlantic coastline of southwest Spain where the ocean meets golden sand dunes.
Seville and the Guadalquivir
A clear view of the historic Andalusian capital and the winding path of its famous river.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The rugged mountain range stretching north of Madrid, often dusted with snow in winter months.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateau of central France featuring unique 'puys' or volcanic domes.
The left side is excellent for departure views of Lanzarote's unique geology. On afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade longer, which is ideal for photography without cockpit glare or window reflections. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to see the Spanish Meseta clearly.
