LPABRE

Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Canary Islands during departure, including a potential glimpse of Mount Teide, and follows the scenic Atlantic coastline of France and the Netherlands.

Left Side Highlights

🛫

Las Palmas Departure

Aerial views of the Gran Canaria capital and the rugged northern coastline as the plane climbs.

🌋

Mount Teide

On clear days, Spain's highest peak on the neighboring island of Tenerife is visible to the west.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight transitions from the Atlantic to the European mainland.

🇫🇷

Brittany Coastline

The dramatic, jagged cliffs and islands of northwestern France come into view near Brest.

🚢

English Channel

Watch for the world's busiest shipping lanes and distant views of the Normandy coast.

🇳🇱

Dutch Tidelands

Intricate water management systems and the Wadden Sea islands as you approach Northern Germany.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, this side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography. Keep a close watch roughly 15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of Tenerife's volcanic cone.

Right Side Highlights

🏝️

Fuerteventura

Distant views of the arid, golden landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The snow-capped limestone peaks of Northern Spain may be visible depending on the specific airway.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

The massive industrial heartland and dense urban clusters of western Germany during the descent.

🌾

Lower Saxony

The flat, agricultural patchwork of northern Germany leading into the Bremen approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm glow of the sun over the European continent. During the final approach into Bremen, this side often offers a better view of the city center and the Weser Stadium if landing from the west.
