Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the Spanish Mediterranean coast and the breathtaking volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote during the final approach.
Spanish Levante
Continuous views of the diverse Spanish coastline from the Costa Brava down toward the Costa del Sol.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic and narrow strategic crossing point where Europe almost touches the African continent.
Timanfaya Volcanic Park
Stunning lunar landscapes and rust-colored craters that define Lanzarote's unique geography.
Famara Massif
Dramatic vertical sea cliffs on the northwest coast of the island visible during the final descent.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Ensure you have your camera ready during the last 20 minutes of the flight; the aircraft typically banks to provide a panoramic view of Lanzaroteβs volcanic 'Fire Mountains' before touching down.
Ligurian Sea
A beautiful transition from the Italian mainland to the deep blue Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Archipelago
Excellent views of Mallorca and Ibiza's coastline if the flight path follows the central Mediterranean corridor.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Glimpse the vast golden dunes of the Sahara meeting the Atlantic Ocean as you head south.
Fuerteventura Silhouette
Lanzarote's sister island is often visible to the south during the final descent into Arrecife.
The left side is best for early morning departures to enjoy the soft light reflecting off the sea. It also offers the best perspective of the African coastline and the neighboring islands during the final landing pattern if the aircraft approaches from the north.
