Search flights from ERF to FUE
Hessian Highlands
Rolling hills and volcanic formations of the Rhön and Vogelsberg regions in western Germany.
Bay of Biscay
Dramatic transition from the French coast near Bordeaux to the deep blue Atlantic waters.
Picos de Europa
Distant views of the jagged limestone peaks of northern Spain's most famous mountain range.
Lanzarote's Timanfaya
Unparalleled views of the 'Fire Mountains' and the volcanic lunar landscape of Lanzarote during the descent.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
The bright white 'Dunas de Corralejo' on Fuerteventura's northern tip are perfectly visible on the right side approach.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. As you descend, look for the contrast between the turquoise ocean and the white sand dunes of Corralejo. For afternoon flights, be aware of the sun's position which may require closing the window blind for a portion of the cruise over Spain.

Isla de Lobos
A small, volcanic islet off the north coast of Fuerteventura visible during the final descent.
Lanzarote South Coast

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for observing the rugged interior of the Iberian Peninsula and the smaller islands of the archipelago during the final approach pattern.
