Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Canary Islands, including the sprawling sand dunes of Corralejo and a perfect overhead look at the volcanic Isla de Lobos during the short crossing.
Search flights from FUE to ACE
Dunes of Corralejo
A stunning expanse of white organic sand dunes contrasting sharply against the turquoise Atlantic waters.
Isla de Lobos
The uninhabited volcanic islet sits perfectly in the strait between the two main islands, clearly visible from the air.
El Río Strait
The narrow stretch of water separating Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, often filled with ferries and leisure boats.
Papagayo Beaches
The hidden golden coves at the southern tip of Lanzarote, famous for their emerald green waters.
Playa Blanca
The bustling resort town at the south of Lanzarote, marking the first point of land contact after the crossing.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal photography. For the best lighting on the turquoise water and dunes, choose a morning flight. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane levels off, as the flight is extremely short and you will reach Isla de Lobos within minutes of departure.

Puerto del Rosario
View the administrative capital and harbor of Fuerteventura immediately after takeoff from FUE.
Malpaís de la Arena
Witness the rugged, dark lava fields and the prominent volcanic cone near La Oliva in northern Fuerteventura.
Timanfaya National Park
As the plane approaches Lanzarote, look across the island to see the distant, glowing red hues of the Fire Mountains.
La Geria Vineyards
Spot the unique circular stone walls used for vine cultivation in the dark volcanic ash of central Lanzarote.
Yaiza Village

Sit on the left for a better view of the rugged inland volcanic geography. This side is particularly impressive during the late afternoon when the low sun casts long shadows over the craters, highlighting the geological textures of the 'malpaís' (badlands).
