LPA → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, including distant views of the eastern Canary Islands, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, the Madrid metropolitan area, and a spectacular crossing of the Pyrenees mountains.
Fuerteventura & Lanzarote
Distant views of the arid, volcanic landscapes of the easternmost Canary Islands shortly after departure.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Stunning views of Spain's highest peaks, often snow-covered, located in the south of Andalusia.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Clear views of the urban sprawl and skyscrapers of the Spanish capital while cruising over the Meseta.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking high-altitude crossing of the jagged, glacier-carved border between Spain and France.
French Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the Champagne and Moselle wine regions during the final descent into LUX.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Roughly 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight, look out for the Pyrenees; this is the visual highlight of the trip. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the mountain ranges. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Sierra Nevada.
Gran Canaria Northern Coast
Aerial views of Las Palmas and the rugged volcanic coastline as the plane turns north.
Atlantic Horizon
Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean during the initial leg toward the Iberian Peninsula.
Portuguese Estuaries
Distant views of the Tagus and Sado estuaries near Lisbon if the flight path tracks west.
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic meeting of the North Atlantic and the jagged northern coast of Spain.
Loire Valley Chateaus
Look for the winding Loire river and historic estates as you cross western France.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during takeoff for views of the Isleta peninsula and the port of Las Palmas. As you approach Luxembourg, this side often provides a better view of the city center if landing from the southeast.
