Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an incredible vantage point of England's Jurassic Coast immediately after takeoff and the dramatic Famara cliffs upon arrival in Lanzarote.
Jurassic Coast
Stunning views of Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and the white chalk cliffs of Dorset immediately after takeoff.
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of mainland Europe, where the rugged Portuguese cliffs meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Chinijo Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the smaller islands north of Lanzarote, including La Graciosa and Alegranza, during descent.
Famara Cliffs
The massive, colorful volcanic Risco de Famara cliffs that dominate the northwestern skyline of Lanzarote.
Choose the right side for the best scenic photography of the Dorset coastline. On the approach into ACE, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of the Timanfaya volcanic fields if the aircraft performs a standard northern arrival. Afternoon flights may experience more sun glare on this side.
Poole Harbour
One of the world's largest natural harbours and the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula visible shortly after departure.
Lisbon Coastline
Distant views of the Tagus estuary and the Portuguese capital's suburban coastline.
Arrecife Coast
A clear view of Lanzarote's capital and the eastern resort areas during the final approach patterns.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue maritime views and potential sightings of large cargo vessels crossing the continental shelf.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun as you head south-southwest. It offers excellent views of the urban sprawl of Arrecife and the airport's coastal perimeter during the final touchdown.
