Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an immediate aerial tour of Lanzarote's volcanic craters followed by a high probability of seeing the Pyrenees and the iconic Berlin skyline on approach.
Lanzarote Volcanos
Stunning views of Timanfaya National Park and the neighboring island of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
Pyrenees Mountains
If the flight path takes a central route, you will see the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the border between Spain and France.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and sometimes the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower are visible.
Harz Mountains
Fly over the dense forests and the Brocken peak in central Germany as you approach the capital.
Berlin City Center
Excellent views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the dense urban grid of Berlin during the final approach pattern.
The right side is essential for the takeoff phase to see the 'Martian' landscapes of Lanzarote. For the best photos of Berlin's landmarks, ensure your window is clean before descent, as the aircraft often banks right over the city when approaching from the west.
Atlantic Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters surrounding the Canary Islands and the deep blue of the North Atlantic.
Portuguese Littoral
Glance at the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Portuguese coast near Lisbon and Porto.
Bay of Biscay
Watch for cargo ships and the transition from the ocean to the lush green landscape of Western France.
Loire Valley
Observe the winding rivers and historic chateaus scattered across the French countryside.
Potsdam Lakes
During the descent, view the expansive Wannsee and the historic palaces of Potsdam west of Berlin.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is superior for spotting the transition from the Atlantic to the European continent. Keep an eye out for the mouth of the Tagus River when passing Portugal.
