Search flights from FUE to BIO
Lanzarote Volcanics
Stunning aerial views of Timanfaya National Park and the neighboring island's craters shortly after departure.
Rias Baixas
The beautiful estuaries and rugged coastline of Galicia as the plane enters northern Spain's airspace.
Picos de Europa
Jagged limestone mountain peaks visible during the descent into the Basque Country on clear days.
Bilbao City Center
Aerial views of the Nervión river and the iconic Guggenheim Museum during the final approach to runway 30.
For the most dramatic experience, book an 'A' seat. During takeoff from FUE, look out immediately for the crossing to Lanzarote. If the approach to BIO is from the west, you will get a perfect view of the city center; however, be mindful of frequent cloud cover in Northern Spain which can obscure the Picos de Europa. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on this side without sun glare.

Isla de Lobos
A crystal clear view of the small islet and the turquoise waters between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Corralejo Dunes
The vast white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible within the first few minutes of liftoff.
Castilian Plateau
The sprawling, colorful agricultural fields of the Meseta Central as you fly over mainland Spain.
Basque Mountains
Green, rolling hills and deep valleys typical of the Basque landscape during the final minutes of the flight.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for the white sand dunes of Corralejo within the first 5 minutes of flight. This side is also better for observing the inland geographic transition from the dry central plains to the lush green mountains of the north.
