Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an incredible vantage point for the volcanic craters of Lanzarote shortly after takeoff and the scenic coastlines of Portugal and France during the cruise.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Breathtaking views of the Timanfaya National Park volcanic fields immediately after departure.
Lisbon & Tagus River
The Portuguese capital and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge can often be seen in the distance.
Picos de Europa
Snow-capped mountain ranges of Northern Spain may be visible across the Bay of Biscay.
Gironde Estuary
The massive waterway leading to Bordeaux, surrounded by world-famous vineyards.
London Cityscape
A potential view of the Shard, the Thames, and the City of London during the approach to Stansted.
Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the spectacular Martian-like landscapes of Lanzarote. On the final approach into Stansted, the right side usually provides a superior view of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
Vast white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible shortly after takeoff.
Isla de Lobos
A small, scenic volcanic island sitting in the strait between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic, often showing large cargo ships and tankers.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged, jagged cliffs and islands of the French northwest coast.
The Solent
Views of the busy waterway between the Isle of Wight and the southern English coast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the sunset over the Atlantic on evening departures. It offers a great perspective of the English South Coast during the initial descent phase.
