HAM → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular coastal views of Western France and the Bay of Biscay, but the true highlight is the descent over the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and the iconic Corralejo dunes on approach to Fuerteventura.

Dune du Pilat
The tallest sand dune in Europe, located near Bordeaux on the French Atlantic coast.
Bay of Biscay
Vast ocean views often featuring merchant ships and occasionally rough maritime weather patterns.
Portuguese Silver Coast
The rugged western edge of the Iberian Peninsula, known for its massive Atlantic swells and cliffs.
Timanfaya National Park
The stunning 'Fire Mountains' of Lanzarote, appearing like a martian landscape during the final descent.
Corralejo Dunes
A vast expanse of white sand meeting the turquoise ocean at the northern tip of Fuerteventura.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best experience, choose a flight departing in the morning to keep the sun behind you. The approach is the highlight: the plane usually flies south along the coast of Lanzarote, providing a perfect view of its volcanic craters and the famous Corralejo sand dunes just before landing.

Gulf of Cádiz
The deep blue waters where the Guadalquivir river meets the Atlantic near the border of Spain and Portugal.
Isla de Lobos
A small, protected volcanic islet seen just minutes before touchdown in Puerto del Rosario.
Sit on the left for a better chance to see the city of Hamburg and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall upon departure. During the final descent, look for the turquoise waters surrounding Isla de Lobos. This side generally experiences less direct glare during morning flights heading south.
