Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior due to the immediate and spectacular views of Lanzarote's volcanic craters and the scenic crossing of the French Atlantic coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Stunning aerial views of the Martian-like volcanic landscapes of northern Lanzarote shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

La Graciosa

The smallest inhabited Canary Island is visible as you exit the archipelago's airspace.

🌊

Brittany Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and islands near the Pointe du Raz as the plane enters French airspace.

🌉

Loire Estuary

The massive bridge at Saint-Nazaire and the meeting point of the Loire River and the Atlantic Ocean.

🏰

French Countryside

A patchwork of green fields and historic villages across the Normandy and Picardy regions.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic volcanic views within the first 15 minutes of flight. For morning departures, this side remains in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without glare. As you approach Belgium, keep an eye out for the white cliffs of the Alabaster Coast if the flight path tracks slightly westward.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Arrecife & Costa Teguise

The urban coast of Lanzarote and its turquoise lagoons are clearly visible during the initial climb.

🚢

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue sea often dotted with large cargo ships heading toward the English Channel.

🍷

Aquitaine Basin

Vast stretches of French forests and the famous vineyards of the Bordeaux region in the distance.

🗼

Brussels Skyline

On final descent, views of the city center and the iconic Atomium depending on the runway in use.

🏗️

Port of Antwerp

The massive industrial landscape of one of Europe's largest ports is often visible just north of the airport.

The right side offers great views of the Lanzarote coastline and the Belgian capital during landing. If the flight arrives in the afternoon, the sunlight will illuminate the French landscape beautifully from this side. Watch for the distinct grid patterns of Belgian towns as the plane descends into Brussels.
