LPA โ BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the volcanic Canary Islands during departure and the stunning Atlantic coastlines of Portugal and France throughout the journey.
Gran Canaria Interior
Dramatic views of the island's volcanic caldera and Roque Nublo during the initial climb.
Mount Teide
Look west shortly after takeoff to spot Spain's highest peak on the neighboring island of Tenerife.
Portuguese Coastline
Breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and beaches of the Algarve and Lisbon region as you head north.
Mont Saint-Michel
Depending on the specific airway, the iconic island monastery in Normandy may be visible during the descent.
Brussels Skyline
Panoramic views of the Atomium and the city center during the final approach into BRU.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Tenerife at departure and the stunning coastline of Portugal. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting as the sun will be behind you or to the west, illuminating the land features clearly.
Eastern Canaries
Distant glimpses of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote rising from the Atlantic shortly after takeoff.
Castile and Leรณn
The vast, golden plains of the Spanish interior as the flight crosses the Iberian Peninsula.
Loire Valley
Views of France's longest river and its famous chรขteaux dotted along the green landscape.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris can be seen in the distance.
Port of Antwerp
One of the world's largest ports is often visible to the north during the final descent phase.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. While it offers fewer coastal views, it provides a unique perspective of the European heartland and the industrial northern landscapes of Belgium.
