Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is the clear winner for this route, primarily due to the spectacular approach. As you descend into Fuerteventura, passengers on the right are treated to a front-row seat of Lanzarote's volcanic landscape and the turquoise waters of the Bocaina Strait.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌆

Ruhr Metropolis

Dense urban sprawl and industrial heritage of Western Germany visible during the initial cruise phase.

🥖

Parisian Basin

Depending on the airway, the iconic radial layout of the French capital is often visible.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The dramatic transition from the French coastline to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

🏖️

Galician Rias

The rugged, fjord-like coastline of northwest Spain as you head south toward Portugal.

🌋

Lanzarote

Breathtaking views of the Timanfaya National Park volcanic craters just before landing.

🏝️

Lobos Island

The tiny, picturesque islet sitting in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze. The descent is the highlight: look out about 20 minutes before landing to see the neighboring island of Lanzarote. Midday flights offer the best turquoise water colors around the Isla de Lobos. During the winter months, the right side may experience more direct sun during the southbound flight, so keep the window shade handy until the descent.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Harz Mountains

Distant views of Northern Germany's highest peaks shortly after departure from Hannover.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A magnificent crossing over the snow-capped border between France and Spain.

🏰

Spanish Meseta

The high-altitude heartland of Spain with its characteristic orange-hued fields and ancient towns.

⛪

Andalusian Cities

Bird's-eye views of Southern Spain's cultural centers and distinct urban architecture.

🐪

Moroccan Coast

On clear days, the distant outline of the North African coast and the Atlas Mountains appears on the horizon.

The left side is great for seeing the diverse inland landscapes of France and Spain. If flying in the afternoon, you will have the sun behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Pyrenees. However, you will miss the primary island views during the approach.
