FUE → BSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional vantage point for the volcanic craters of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff, the high peaks of the Spanish Sierra Nevada, and a breathtaking panoramic view of the Swiss Alps during the descent into the Basel-Mulhouse area.
Timanfaya National Park
Stunning 'Martian' volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote visible shortly after departure from FUE.
Strait of Gibraltar
On clear days, the narrow crossing between Africa and Europe is visible as you approach the mainland.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often covered in snow even during warmer months.
Central Pyrenees
A close-up view of the most dramatic and highest sections of the Pyrenean mountain range.
Swiss Alps Panorama
A spectacular long-distance view of the snow-clad Swiss Alps to the east during the approach.
The Black Forest
The dark, dense canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald visible across the Rhine as you land.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark enthusiasts. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for Lanzarote's volcanic cones. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the right side provides the most iconic views of the Alps to the south-east. Try to fly midday to late afternoon to have the sun behind or above you, highlighting the terrain.
Lanzarote North Coast
View of the rugged northern coastline and the smaller islands of the Chinijo Archipelago.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the aircraft heads towards mainland Europe.
Western Pyrenees
The snow-capped peaks where Spain meets France, often visible from high cruise altitude.
Massif Central
The ancient, rounded volcanic mountains of central France providing a textured landscape.
Vosges Mountains
Dense green forests and rolling hills as the flight begins its final descent into BSL.
The left side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight during morning and midday flights, which is better for photography. It offers a great perspective of the transition from the Atlantic to the diverse French rural landscapes. In the evening, this side catches the sunset over the Bay of Biscay.
