FUE โ†’ NUE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer excellent views, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the Pyrenees, the volcanic plateaus of the Massif Central, and the Swabian Jura as you descend into Germany.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
๐ŸŒ‹

Fuerteventura Northern Tip

A final look at the Corralejo sand dunes and the Isla de Lobos before heading out over the water.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Pyrenees Mountains

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the border between Spain and France are visible to the south.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Massif Central

The dramatic ancient volcanic domes and deep gorges of south-central France.

๐Ÿ‡

Burgundy Vineyards

The meticulously patterned agricultural landscapes of France's premier wine-growing regions.

๐Ÿฅจ

Franconian Switzerland

The distinctive limestone formations and quaint villages of Northern Bavaria during the landing sequence.

The right side is the 'mountain side.' Look out for the Pyrenees roughly 2 hours into the flight. On morning departures, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. During the final approach to NUE, the right side typically offers a better view of the old city skyline if landing from the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Lanzarote North Coast

Stunning aerial views of the neighboring island's volcanic craters and white-sand beaches shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

Bay of Biscay Crossing

Deep blue ocean vistas where the Atlantic meets the rugged western coastline of France.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the historic chรขteaux scattered across the French countryside.

๐ŸŒฒ

The Black Forest

Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald as you enter German airspace.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Stuttgart Skyline

Aerial perspective of the metropolitan area nestled in a valley basin before the final turn toward Nuremberg.

Sit on the left for the best view of Lanzarote immediately after departure from FUE. For photography, the left side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun while flying north-northeast.
