Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth)?
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.
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.
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.
