Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the volcanic moonscapes of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff, followed by a better angle for viewing the French heartland and the final approach into the Berlin metropolitan area.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Lanzarote Volcanos

An incredible bird's-eye view of Timanfaya National Park and the unique volcanic craters of Fuerteventura's neighbor island.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The jagged, snow-capped peaks of Northern Spain's Cantabrian Mountains may be visible in the distance to the east.

🗼

Paris Outskirts

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the La Défense skyline can sometimes be spotted to the east.

🚢

Rhine River

The industrial and natural beauty of the Rhine as it cuts through the German landscape towards the Ruhr area.

🏢

Berlin Cityscape

A prime view of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the Berlin city center depending on the landing direction at the airport.

The takeoff is the star of the show on this side; ensure you have a window seat to see the stark transition from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote. If landing at Schönefeld (now BER) from the west, the right side provides the best views of the city's famous landmarks and the Spree river.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Corralejo Dunes

Stunning views of the white sand dunes and turquoise waters at the northern tip of Fuerteventura shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses from the Iberian Peninsula towards the French coast.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaus of central France if the flight path is clear.

🏙️

Benelux Urban Centers

The dense urban clusters of Belgium and the Netherlands are visible as the plane nears the German border.

🌾

North German Plain

The characteristic flat, green agricultural landscapes of Lower Saxony as the descent towards Berlin begins.

Early morning flights are ideal on the left side to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep your camera ready in the first 5 minutes to capture the contrast between the Lobos Island and the Fuerteventura coastline. During the final descent, look for the Havel river system west of Berlin.
