FRA → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Pyrenees mountain range and a spectacular approach into the Canary Islands, featuring the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura's northern coast.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic plateaus and deep valleys across central France.
Pyrenees Mountains
The dramatic snow-capped peaks forming the border between France and Spain.
Madrid Region
Aerial views of the high Spanish plateau and the capital's sprawling outskirts.
Strait of Gibraltar
On clear days, the distant gap where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic is visible.
Lanzarote Coastline
Low-altitude views of the Timanfaya volcanic craters during the final descent.
Choose a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Pyrenees. For morning flights, the sun is positioned to illuminate the land perfectly. As you descend, stay alert for the 'Mars-like' red terrain of Lanzarote just before crossing the strait to Fuerteventura.
Loire Valley
The heart of France, known for its historic river system and castle-dotted landscapes.
Bay of Biscay
The vast Atlantic horizon meeting the rocky coastline of southwestern France.
Portuguese Atlantic Coast
Long stretches of sandy beaches and the westernmost cliffs of continental Europe.
Isla de Lobos
A small, emerald-tinged volcanic islet seen just before touchdown.
Corralejo Dunes
The massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible during the landing pattern.
The right side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If the aircraft approaches Fuerteventura from the north, you will get a prime view of the turquoise waters and sand dunes of Corralejo during the final banking turn.
