Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?

The right side provides a more dramatic view of the Gran Canaria coastline and the island's volcanic interior, including the central mountains and the capital city, Las Palmas, during the descent.

Puerto del Rosario
The capital of Fuerteventura and its busy port are clearly visible immediately after takeoff from FUE.
Roque Nublo
The iconic volcanic rock formation in the center of Gran Canaria can be seen piercing the clouds.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
A sweeping view of the largest city in the Canaries as the plane lines up for its approach to Runway 03.
Caldera de Bandama
A perfectly preserved volcanic crater located just inland from the airport approach path.
The right side is the 'land side' for the majority of the approach to Gran Canaria Airport. For the best views of the mountains, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the volcanic terrain.

Jandía Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous southern tail of Fuerteventura visible shortly after takeoff.
Deep Atlantic
Vast stretches of turquoise and deep blue ocean between the islands, often showing whitecaps.
Maspalomas Dunes
Glimpses of the famous golden sand dunes on the southern tip of Gran Canaria during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. This side is typically quieter visually until the final moments before landing, making it great for spotting marine life if flying at low altitudes.
