Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of Gran Canaria's northern coastline and Las Palmas during departure, followed by a detailed look at Fuerteventura's unique volcanic interior and central mountains during the descent.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
A sweeping view of the capital city and the bustling Port of Las Palmas shortly after takeoff.
Volcanic Craters
Aerial perspectives of the ancient volcanic cones and lava fields in central Fuerteventura.
Betancuria Massif
The rugged, orange-hued mountain ranges that define the historic heart of Fuerteventura.
La Isleta
The distinct volcanic peninsula at the northern tip of Gran Canaria visible during the initial climb.
Antigua
The traditional white-washed villages scattered across the plains of Fuerteventura's interior.
Sit on the left for the best views of Las Palmas during the climb. As the flight is extremely short (approx. 25 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of rotation. In the morning, the light perfectly illuminates the red and ochre tones of Fuerteventura's mountains as you approach from the west.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue ocean channel separating the two Canary Islands.
Pozo Izquierdo
The famous windsurfing coastline of southeastern Gran Canaria visible during the initial ascent.
Caleta de Fuste
A clear view of the horseshoe-shaped bay and coastal resort area just before landing.
Salinas del Carmen
The historic salt pans on the Fuerteventura coast, appearing as a geometric grid near the airport.
The right side is ideal for spotting marine traffic in the busy channel between islands. It offers an excellent view of the coastal resorts near Fuerteventura Airport during the final minutes of flight. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun.
