Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular sequence of European coastlines followed by a dramatic aerial entry over Lanzarote's volcanic craters.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Brittany Peninsula

The jagged cliffs and emerald waters of the French Atlantic coast.

🦀

Galician Rias

Deep coastal inlets and the lush green mountains of Northwest Spain's 'Green Coast'.

🌉

Lisbon & Tagus

Panoramic views of the Portuguese capital and the massive Tagus River estuary.

🚢

Atlantic Corridor

Vast ocean vistas frequently dotted with cargo ships navigating the busy shipping lanes.

🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Breathtaking views of the 'Fire Mountains' and Martian-like volcanic fields upon entering Lanzarote airspace.

This is the superior side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. The highlight is the landing sequence; as the aircraft aligns with Runway 03, you get an unparalleled view of the island's unique volcanic craters and lava fields.
