Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the departure over the Liverpool skyline, the mountains of Wales, and the stunning coastline of Portugal before descending into the volcanic landscape of Gran Canaria.

Liverpool Skyline
Excellent views of the city center, the historic docks, and the famous football stadiums shortly after lift-off.
Eryri (Snowdonia)
The rugged mountain ranges of North Wales are often visible as the flight heads south towards the coast.
Lisbon & Tagus Estuary
If the flight path hugs the coast, you can spot the massive estuary and the sprawling city of Lisbon.
Cabo de São Vicente
The dramatic southwestern tip of Europe, marked by steep cliffs and the lighthouse at Sagres.
Pico de las Nieves
The volcanic interior and central mountains of Gran Canaria are visible as the plane maneuvers for landing.
The right side is the geographic winner. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Welsh peaks and the Portuguese coast. In the late afternoon, be prepared for sun glare; use the window shade as you cross the Atlantic toward the Canary Islands.

A broad view of the Wirral Peninsula and the mouth of the River Mersey immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the North Atlantic, often featuring heavy maritime traffic and deep blue horizons.
Gran Canaria East Coast
On final approach, see the port of Las Palmas and the island's eastern coastline including wind farms and rocky beaches.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight, which will be on the right. This side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Atlantic and a clear view of the Gran Canaria shoreline during the standard approach into LPA.
