FUEBOH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the French coastline in Brittany and the iconic landmarks of the English south coast, including the Isle of Wight and the Needles, during the descent into Bournemouth.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Arrecife

The capital city of Lanzarote and its harbors visible as the flight tracks north-northeast.

⛵

Brittany Coastline

The intricate, rocky coast of western France, including the Penmarc'h Peninsula and coastal inlets.

⛰️

The Needles

The iconic row of three distinctive chalk stacks rising out of the sea off the Isle of Wight.

🏰

Hurst Castle

An artillery fortress built by Henry VIII, guarding the narrow western entrance to the Solent.

🏖️

Bournemouth Pier

A low-altitude view of the expansive sandy beaches and the pier just moments before touchdown.

The right side is highly recommended for the final 15 minutes of the flight. As you approach Bournemouth, you will likely see the Isle of Wight and the Solent. For the best photography of the English coast, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the white chalk cliffs from the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Corralejo Dunes

Aerial view of the massive white sand dunes and turquoise lagoons at the northern tip of Fuerteventura.

🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Dramatic view of the volcanic peaks and Martian-like landscapes of western Lanzarote shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and the vast Bay of Biscay during the cruise phase.

🗼

Ouessant Island

The rugged, lighthouse-dotted island marking the westernmost point of metropolitan France.

🪨

Old Harry Rocks

Famous chalk formations and the Purbeck coastline visible if the plane circles for its final approach.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Canary Islands' volcanic terrain during departure. On clear days, this side is also excellent for spotting the Jurassic Coast as you enter UK airspace. Use a morning flight to avoid the glare of the western sun when looking toward the Atlantic.
