English Channel Crossing
Final views of the Somerset countryside followed by the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
Iberian Coastline
Distant views of the Portuguese shoreline and the cliffs of the Algarve as the plane tracks south.
African Desert Edge
Stunning views of the Moroccan coastline where the western edges of the Sahara meet the Atlantic.
Timanfaya National Park
Dramatic aerial views of Lanzarote's 'Fire Mountains' and volcanic craters during the descent.
Corralejo Dunes
The expansive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura are clearly visible just minutes before touchdown.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic arrival. Most flights approach Fuerteventura Airport from the north, passing directly east of Lanzarote. Morning flights on this side avoid the harshest direct sunlight, which moves to the right side of the aircraft as you travel south.

Bay of Biscay
Wide-angle views of the deep Atlantic waters known for their powerful swells and maritime traffic.
Atlantic Sunset

Isla de Lobos

Open Ocean Approach
A tranquil perspective of the deep blue Atlantic as the aircraft banks for its final approach into FUE.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer the serenity of the open ocean. On afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare; keep your window shade down periodically to stay cool. This side is quieter for those wishing to sleep without the distraction of coastal landmarks.
