Search flights from AMS to FUE
Zeeland Coastline
Detailed views of the Dutch islands and the sophisticated North Sea flood defense systems.
French Atlantic Islands
Perfect views of Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron, and the fortifications near La Rochelle.
Gironde Estuary
The wide, silty mouth of the Garonne river leading into the famous Bordeaux wine region.
Timanfaya National Park
Incredible views of the black volcanic fields and craters of southern Lanzarote during descent.
Corralejo Dunes
The brilliant white sands of Fuerteventura's northern desert meeting the turquoise ocean.
The right side is superior for this route. It provides the best lighting (sun is usually on the left/back) and the most dramatic 'island hopping' views. Watch closely 20 minutes before landing to catch the spectacular transition from the blue Atlantic to the volcanic peaks of Lanzarote and the Lobos islet.

Rotterdam Port
Aerial view of the massive Maasvlakte industrial area and the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta.
French Hinterland
Vast stretches of the Charente and Aquitaine countryside with traditional agricultural patterns.
Spanish Sierras
The rugged, arid mountain ranges of central Spain or the Portuguese border regions.
Betancuria Massif
The oldest volcanic mountains of Fuerteventura visible as you turn for final approach.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the interior landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. During morning flights, this side will experience significant direct sunlight and glare, so keep the window shade handy. On the final descent, you will see the reddish, moon-like interior of the island.
