CRL β ACE
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic during the descent, showcasing the dramatic northern islets of the Chinijo Archipelago and the sheer Famara cliffs before landing.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged and rocky coastline of western France, often visible if the route tracks westward.
Chinijo Archipelago
Stunning views of the small volcanic islands including La Graciosa, MontaΓ±a Clara, and Alegranza.
Famara Cliffs
The dramatic 600-meter high Risco de Famara, where the mountains drop vertically into the Atlantic.
Timanfaya National Park
The sprawling, dark volcanic lava fields and craters that give Lanzarote its Martian appearance.
Playa de Famara
The massive sandy bay popular with surfers, framed by the backdrop of the high cliffs.
This is the 'money side' for the descent into ACE. Request a window seat here for the iconic views of the northern islets. Afternoon flights provide the best golden hour lighting on the red and orange volcanic rock of the Famara cliffs.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding river and the patchwork fields of central France shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay
A long stretch over the deep Atlantic waters where you can spot large cargo vessels.
Portuguese Coast
Glimpses of the rugged western Iberian Peninsula and the Tagus estuary near Lisbon.
Fuerteventura
Excellent views of Lanzarote's sister island and the Lobos islet during the final approach turn.
Arrecife View
The white-washed capital of Lanzarote and its harbor visible just before touchdown.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for seeing the southern neighboring islands like Fuerteventura if the flight performs a standard landing loop over the ocean.
