BREFUE

Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Moroccan coastline, the transition from the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara, and a stunning aerial approach over Lanzarote and the northern tip of Fuerteventura.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Bremen & Weser River

Aerial view of the Hanseatic city and the winding Weser river immediately after takeoff from BRE.

🏰

French Countryside

Vast stretches of the Loire Valley and central France, featuring patchwork fields and historic estates.

⛰️

Pyrenees Vista

Distant but clear views of the high peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range bordering Spain.

🌊

Moroccan Atlantic Coast

Dramatic views where the blue Atlantic meets the golden sands of the North African coastline.

🏜️

Anti-Atlas Mountains

Rugged, reddish-brown volcanic mountain formations in southern Morocco near Agadir.

🏝️

Lanzarote & Lobos

Detailed views of the Timanfaya volcanic landscape on Lanzarote and the tiny Lobos Island during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the African continent and the spectacular approach over the northern Canary Islands. If the flight is in the morning, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Moroccan coast. Watch for the 'sand rivers' of the Western Sahara just before the descent begins.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Bay of Biscay

A long stretch over the deep blue waters of the Atlantic as you cross from France to Spain.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

Rugged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible as you cross the northern Spanish coast.

🇵🇹

Portuguese Coastline

Scenic views of the cliffs and beaches of Portugal, including the area around Lisbon and Cabo da Roca.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic horizon, ideal for spotting passing ships and cloud formations.

🌋

Fuerteventura West Coast

Dramatic views of the wild, wind-swept western cliffs and El Cotillo beaches during final approach.

Choose the right side if you are on a late afternoon flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for viewing the remote western beaches of Fuerteventura if the plane approaches from the north. Be aware that most of the mid-flight will be over open water.
