FUE β CRL
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior primarily due to the spectacular departure over the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and the consistent views of the Moroccan and French coastlines throughout the journey.
Lanzarote Volcanics
Incredible bird's-eye view of Timanfaya National Park and the craters of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
Moroccan Coast
The dramatic meeting point of the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean near Agadir and Essaouira.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its famous chateaux as the flight traverses central France.
Paris Surroundings
Depending on air traffic control, the eastern outskirts of Paris and sometimes the city lights are visible.
Wallonia Landscapes
The industrial heritage and rolling hills of Southern Belgium during the descent into Charleroi.
The right side is the clear winner for takeoff; sit here to see the stunning volcanic landscape of Lanzarote. For the best visibility of the Moroccan coast, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind you. During the descent into Charleroi, the right side provides a great perspective of the Sambre river valley.
Atlantic Ocean Expanse
Deep blue views of the open Atlantic as the flight tracks north from the Canary Islands.
Portuguese Horizon
Distant views of the Portuguese coastline and the lights of Lisbon if flying at dusk.
Bay of Biscay
A vast crossing of the bay, often showing cargo ships and tankers navigating toward Northern Europe.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged western tip of France visible as the plane enters French airspace.
The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers better views of the sunset over the Atlantic if you are on a late-day flight. Keep an eye out for the island of Madeira, which can sometimes be spotted far to the west shortly after takeoff.
