LPA → HAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for seeing the majestic Mount Teide on Tenerife immediately after takeoff, followed by the dramatic Atlantic coastline of Portugal and the cliffs of Brittany.
Mount Teide
Visible shortly after departure, Spain's highest peak on Tenerife rises dramatically above the clouds to the west.
Portuguese Riviera
Clear views of the Lisbon coastline and the Estoril shore as the plane tracks north along the Atlantic edge.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic transition into the rugged western coastline of France.
Brittany Coast
The intricate jagged coastline and numerous islands of northwestern France are often visible before crossing the channel.
North German Plain
Lush green farmlands and the winding rivers of Lower Saxony during the final descent into Hannover.
Book a window seat on the left for the iconic Teide view at the start. Since this is a Northbound flight, the left side will face the afternoon sun; bring sunglasses to combat glare during mid-day flights. During the descent, look for the Steinhuder Meer lake west of Hannover.
Eastern Canaries
Views of the arid, volcanic landscapes of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote shimmering in the distance to the east.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, characterized by unique agricultural patterns and rolling hills.
Parisian Basin
On clear days, the dense urban sprawl of the greater Paris region can be spotted to the east while over France.
The Ruhr Area
A massive cluster of urban lights and industrial infrastructure as the flight passes near Germany's industrial heartland.
Teutoburg Forest
The long, narrow forested ridges of the Wiehengebirge and Teutoburg Forest just before reaching HAJ.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun. It offers better views of the Spanish interior and the industrial landscape of Western Germany. If landing from the west, the right side provides a great view of Hannover city center just before touchdown.
