Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the European continental coastline, including the French and Portuguese shores, and provides a spectacular angle for the volcanic craters of Lanzarote during the final descent.

English Midlands
Lush green landscapes and the rolling hills of the Cotswolds shortly after departing Liverpool.
Brittany Coast
The rugged, jagged rocky shores of northwestern France visible while crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Picos de Europa
The high limestone peaks of Northern Spain often visible in the distance during the trans-continental leg.
Lisbon District
Vistas of the Portuguese capital's eastern outskirts and the expansive mouth of the Tagus River.
Timanfaya National Park
A breathtaking look at the 'Fire Mountains' and blackened lava fields upon entering Lanzarote airspace.
For morning flights, the left side will be in the shade for the first half of the journey, providing better visibility without glare. This side is typically better for seeing the mainland European coast and is the prime choice for seeing the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote if the plane arrives from the north on Runway 03.
