Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is the superior choice for this route, offering a front-row seat to the rugged mountains of North Wales, the dramatic Picos de Europa in Northern Spain, and the stunning urban sprawl of Lisbon before the final volcanic approach over Lanzarote.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

Aerial views of the jagged peaks and glacial valleys of North Wales shortly after departure.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Stunning views of the limestone massifs of Northern Spain as you cross from the Bay of Biscay.

🏙️

Lisbon & Tagus River

The sprawling capital of Portugal and the massive estuary of the Tagus River are often visible mid-flight.

🏖️

The Algarve Coast

Dramatic golden cliffs and turquoise waters of Southern Portugal as you head out into the Atlantic.

🌋

Lanzarote Volcanic Fields

During the descent, witness the dark, cratered landscapes of Fuerteventura's northern neighbor.

Sit on the left for the best land-based landmarks. If flying during the day, the Picos de Europa in Spain are a major highlight about 90 minutes into the flight. On the final approach, look out for the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote just before crossing the strait to Fuerteventura.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⚓

Mersey Estuary

Excellent views of the Wirral Peninsula and the industrial heritage of Liverpool's docks immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, perfect for spotting ship wakes and cloud formations.

🏜️

Corralejo Sand Dunes

The spectacular white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appear clearly during the final descent.

🏝️

Isla de Lobos

A small, uninhabited volcanic islet nestled between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura visible as you lower landing gear.

🌅

Atlantic Sunset

On evening flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun dipping below the ocean horizon.

Choose the right side if you prefer ocean views and want the best perspective of the Corralejo sand dunes during landing. For late afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare, but also provides the best sunset views.
