Lanzarote Volcanos
Unrivaled views of Timanfaya National Park and the 'Lunar' landscape shortly after takeoff.
Portuguese Heartland
Views of the rolling hills and river valleys of the Iberian Peninsula's interior.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the lush green agricultural heart of Central France.
Parisian Outskirts
On clear days, the distant urban sprawl of the French capital is visible to the east.
Dutch Polders
The iconic geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals during the final approach to Schiphol.
The right side is essential for seeing Lanzarote immediately after takeoff from FUE. For the best lighting, morning or midday flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare on your window. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the quintessential Dutch landscape of windmills and tulip fields (seasonal).
