LPA β BOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, beginning with volcanic vistas of the eastern Canary Islands and concluding with a scenic approach over the Isle of Wight and the bustling Solent.
Eastern Canaries
Spectacular views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote's lunar landscapes shortly after the climb out from Gran Canaria.
Iberian Shoreline
Distant views of the Portuguese coastline, including the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon depending on the day's airway.
Mont Saint-Michel
The iconic French tidal island abbey may be visible in the distance when crossing the coast of Normandy.
Isle of Wight
Crystal clear views of The Needles chalk stacks and the island's rolling green hills during the descent phase.
The Solent
The busy waterway between the mainland and Isle of Wight, often filled with ferries, yachts, and naval vessels.
The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is to the west, illuminating the English Channel islands and the Solent. For the best approach views of BOH, a seat behind the wing provides an unobstructed panoramic view of the Isle of Wight's white cliffs.
Gran Canaria Interior
Aerial views of the rugged, mountainous heart of the island including the Pico de las Nieves just after takeoff.
Atlantic Horizon
A vast and peaceful perspective of the deep blue Atlantic, occasionally punctuated by container ships on international routes.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged western coastline of France, featuring dramatic cliffs and the lighthouse-dotted shores of the Finistère region.
Jurassic Coast
The UNESCO-listed white limestone cliffs of Dorset and the famous arch of Durdle Door as the aircraft descends.
Poole Harbour
One of the largest natural harbours in the world, featuring Brownsea Island and the luxury homes of Sandbanks.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is prime for spotting the Dorset coastline during the final 10 minutes of flight. Look out for the distinct shape of Portland Bill if the flight path tracks slightly west.
