Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unrivaled view of the volcanic topography of Lanzarote and the turquoise lagoons of Lobos Island during the final approach into Fuerteventura.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🇮🇪

Irish Coastline

Clear views of the Irish Sea and the eastern coast of Ireland, including the Wicklow Mountains on clear days.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

An endless, deep blue oceanic vista that provides a sense of the scale of the journey toward the Macaronesia region.

🌋

Lanzarote Volcanoes

Breathtaking views of the Timanfaya National Park's volcanic craters as the flight descends over the neighboring island.

🏝️

Isla de Lobos

A tiny, pristine islet featuring stunning turquoise lagoons situated in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

🏖️

Corralejo Sand Dunes

The massive white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appearing just before the wheels touch down.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'volcano approach.' To capture the best photos of Lanzarote and Lobos Island, request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the craters and turquoise waters.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Firth of Clyde

Rugged views of the Scottish west coast and the Isle of Arran shortly after takeoff from Glasgow.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of the Atlantic where the continental shelf drops, often showing dramatic cloud formations.

🇪🇸

Galician Rias

The jagged, forest-lined inlets of the northwestern Spanish coast visible as the plane heads south.

🇵🇹

Lisbon Coastline

Distant views of the Tejo River estuary and the coastal towns of Estoril and Cascais in Portugal.

🏜️

African Horizon

The hazy orange outline of the Moroccan coast and the Western Sahara often visible on the left during the final descent.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sun. It offers better views of the European and African landmasses, though they are often further in the distance than features on the right.
