BOH → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the European coastline, major cities like Lisbon, and a stunning aerial approach past the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote.
Isle of Wight
A spectacular view of the Needles and the Solent shortly after departing Bournemouth.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged shoreline and offshore islands of Western France as you cross the English Channel.
Lisbon & Tagus River
Clear views of the Portuguese capital's layout and its iconic suspension bridges.
Moroccan Coast
On clear days, the dramatic meeting of the Saharan sands and the Atlantic Ocean is visible to the east.
Lanzarote Approach
Breathtaking views of the Timanfaya volcanic craters and the island of Los Lobos before landing.
The left side is the clear winner for landmarks. To avoid glare, choose a morning flight when the sun is on the opposite side. Look out for the transition from the green Portuguese coast to the arid African horizon about 40 minutes before arrival.
Poole Harbour
An immediate view of Sandbanks and the world's second largest natural harbour upon takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
Vast, deep blue oceanic views where you can occasionally spot large container ships.
Galician Rias
The deep, fjord-like estuaries of Northwest Spain can be seen far in the distance.
Atlantic Sunset
Perfect, unobstructed views of the sun setting into the horizon on late-afternoon flights.
Corralejo Dunes
The massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appear during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer a peaceful, ocean-heavy view. It is particularly recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. Be sure to look down immediately after takeoff for a glimpse of the Jurassic Coast.
