FUE β LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the rugged cliffs of Portugal, the mountainous terrain of Northwest Spain, and the stunning scenery of the Welsh coast and Snowdonia upon arrival in the UK.
Vast Atlantic Expanse
Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean as you leave the Canary Islands and head north towards Europe.
Portuguese Coastline
A long, scenic view of Portugal's western edge, including the cliffs of NazarΓ© and the beaches of the Silver Coast.
Galician Cliffs
The dramatic, green, and jagged coastline of Northwest Spain, specifically the RΓas Baixas and the lighthouse at Finisterre.
Snowdonia National Park
Dramatic aerial views of the highest mountains in Wales as the flight path crosses the Irish Sea and heads into North Wales.
The Wirral Peninsula
Clearly defined views of the coastline between the River Dee and the River Mersey just moments before touchdown.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the transition from the arid Canary Islands to the lush green of Wales. If you are flying during the day, the afternoon sun will be behind the plane or to the west, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Iberian coast. On approach to LPL, keep an eye out for the distinctive Red Rocks at Hoylake.
Lanzarote
Immediately after takeoff, you get a stunning bird's-eye view of Fuerteventura's neighbor, the volcanic 'Mars-like' island of Lanzarote.
Lisbon Metro Area
Distant but clear views of the Tagus River and the expansive urban sprawl of Lisbon and its surroundings.
Spanish Hinterland
Views of the rolling hills and historical settlements of the Spanish interior as the route skirts the border.
Severn Estuary
As you enter UK airspace, look out for the massive bridges connecting England and South Wales.
Liverpool City Center
If landing on Runway 27, you'll see the iconic Liver Building and the rejuvenated docks as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for the first 10 minutes of flight to see the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote. For the arrival into Liverpool, the right side is preferred if the wind is coming from the West (Runway 27 approach), as you will fly parallel to the city center, offering views of the cathedrals and skyscrapers.
