Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Atlantic coastline of France and Portugal, followed by a breathtaking descent over Lanzarote's iconic volcanic craters and lunar landscapes.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distinct sprawl of the Paris metropolitan area and the Seine River are visible to the west.
Bay of Biscay
Witness the dramatic meeting of the French coastline and the deep blue Atlantic waters.
Lisbon Estuary
Stunning views of the Tagus River, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the rugged Portuguese Atlantic coast.
Timanfaya National Park
Unparalleled views of the 'Fire Mountains' and the vast lava fields of Lanzarote during the landing approach.
La Geria Vineyards
The unique sight of thousands of small stone-walled circles used for volcanic viticulture near the airport.
Book a window seat on the right for the iconic 'volcano view' on arrival. For afternoon flights, this side offers spectacular ocean sunsets, though you should bring sunglasses as the sun will be on this side for the latter half of the journey.
Brussels Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Belgian capital and the Atomium structure immediately after departure from BRU.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the lush French countryside and historic chateaux as the flight heads south.
The Pyrenees
Distant but majestic views of the jagged peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Seville and Andalusia
Spot the winding Guadalquivir River and the white-washed architecture of southern Spain.
Fuerteventura
Gliding past the turquoise waters and sand dunes of the neighboring island during the final approach phase.
Ideal for morning flights to see the European mainland bathed in early light. Watch the left side during the final descent for views of the 'El Jable' sand corridor and the southern peaks of Lanzarote.
