Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the heart of the Spanish mainland and a breathtaking approach over the Corralejo sand dunes and Lobos Island.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Ardennes & Eifel

Rolling green hills and dense forests shortly after departure from Cologne.

🌋

Massif Central

The rugged, ancient volcanic peaks of central France.

🌾

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden high-altitude plateaus of central Spain.

⛪

Seville

Aerial views of the historic Andalusian capital and the Guadalquivir River.

🏖️

Corralejo Dunes

Stunning white sand desert meeting turquoise waters during the final descent into FUE.

Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for the arrival phase, as the standard approach path provides a panoramic view of the Isla de Lobos and the famous North Shore dunes.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Dune du Pilat

Europe's tallest sand dune located near Bordeaux along the French coast.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The dramatic transition from the European continental shelf to the deep Atlantic.

🏙️

Lisbon Coast

Views of the Tagus River estuary and the rugged Portuguese coastline.

🌋

Lanzarote

The 'Martian' volcanic landscapes of Timanfaya National Park just before landing.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted ocean views, particularly spectacular during sunset flights.

Choose the right side (usually 'F') for afternoon or evening flights to witness incredible Atlantic sunsets. Keep an eye out for the coastline of Galicia and Portugal, though cloud cover over the ocean is more common on this side.
