FUE β HAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular immediate view of Lanzarote's volcanic landscape after takeoff, followed by expansive views of the French Loire Valley and the industrial heart of Germany during the descent.
Lanzarote Panoramas
Unrivaled views of the Timanfaya National Park and the volcanic craters of Fuerteventura's neighbor island.
Isla de Lobos
A clear view of the small, pristine volcanic islet sitting between the two main islands.
Loire Valley
The winding river and lush green landscapes of central France, famous for its historic chateaux.
Paris Environs
Depending on the specific air corridor, the urban sprawl of the French capital may be visible in the distance.
The Ruhr Area
Germany's industrial powerhouse, characterized by dense urban clusters and the Rhine river system.
Teutoburg Forest
The rolling green ridges of the German uplands as the plane begins its final descent into Hannover.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Lanzarote shortly after takeoffβthis is often the scenic highlight of the route. During winter months, the afternoon sun will illuminate the European mainland beautifully from this side. Watch for the change from the arid Canary landscape to the deep greens of northern Europe.
Corralejo Dunes
Stunning views of the massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura during the initial climb.
Atlantic Horizon
Vast stretches of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay toward mainland Europe.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged western tip of France and the entrance to the English Channel are often visible on clear days.
Shipping Lanes
High-altitude views of the busy maritime traffic entering and exiting the English Channel.
Dutch Coast
The intricate network of dikes and the coastal islands of the Netherlands shortly before entering German airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare. Look for the English Channel crossing approximately 3 hours into the journey. If the arrival path into HAJ approaches from the north, you may see the Steinhuder Meer lake.
