Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote and the northern tip of Fuerteventura during the final descent, which is the most scenic part of the journey.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
Aerial views of the historic Sambre valley and the industrial landscape of the Walloon region immediately after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Crossing over central France offers glimpses of the winding Loire River and the lush garden regions of France.
Pyrenees Vista
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible to the east as you cross the French-Spanish border.
Moroccan Coastline
As the flight nears the Canary Islands, you can often spot the hazy outline of the Moroccan coast and the Western Sahara.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Exceptional views of Timanfaya National Park and the 'Lunar' landscape of Lanzarote as the plane descends toward Fuerteventura.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views if taking an early morning flight. During descent, this side is critical for seeing the dramatic contrast between the turquoise ocean and the dark volcanic soil of the neighboring islands. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic and the rugged coastline of the Aquitaine region in France.
Portuguese Atlantic Coast
A long stretch of the flight follows the edge of the Iberian Peninsula, offering views of the Portuguese shoreline and surf breaks.
Isla de Lobos
Just before touchdown, you can see the small, protected islet of Lobos sitting in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Corralejo Dunes
The massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appear as a desert oasis meeting the sea during the final approach.
Choose the right side if you want to avoid the direct glare of the sun on a morning flight. It offers better views of the endless Atlantic horizon and the specific golden sand dunes of Corralejo just seconds before the plane touches down at FUE airport.
