FUE โ FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of Lanzarote's volcanic craters immediately after takeoff, followed by clear views of the Iberian interior and the scenic Rhine river during the descent into Frankfurt.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Incredible close-up views of the Timanfaya National Park and volcanic craters shortly after departure from FUE.
Seville & Andalusia
Clear views of the Guadalquivir River and the historic urban sprawl of Seville in Southern Spain.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, reddish mountain ranges that divide the Andalusian plain from the Meseta Central.
Paris Area
On typical routes, the eastern suburbs of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance to the west.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river and the lush forests of the Taunus mountains as the plane enters German airspace.
The right side is the undisputed winner for the takeoff phase; the view of Lanzarote is a highlight of the trip. During afternoon flights, use the window shade to block the direct sun while over France, but keep it open for the scenic approach over the Rhine.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as you leave the Canary Islands and head toward the Iberian Peninsula.
Costa de la Luz
The golden beaches and salt marshes of the Gulf of Cรกdiz as you cross into mainland Europe.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Vast stretches of world-famous vineyards in Southwest France, visible between the Atlantic and the Garonne.
Loire Valley
Glancing views of the 'Garden of France' and its historical river bends as you head toward Paris.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyline is often visible on the left side during the final approach to RWY 07.
Choose the left side if you want to see the Frankfurt skyline during the final approach (depending on wind direction). For morning flights, the left side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
