Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the French coastline, the stunning Picos de Europa mountains in Northern Spain, and a spectacular aerial perspective of Lanzarote and Lobos Island during the final approach to Fuerteventura.
Greater London & Thames
After departing Luton, catch glimpses of the sprawling London metropolis and the Thames Estuary to the southeast.
Normandy & Brittany
Excellent views of the French coastline, including the Cotentin Peninsula and the rugged shores of Brittany.
Picos de Europa
As you cross into Spain, look for the snow-capped limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains.
Portuguese Coastline
Clear views of the Tagus River estuary near Lisbon and the sun-drenched beaches of the Alentejo region.
Lanzarote & Lobos
The highlight of the trip: a low-altitude pass over the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote and the tiny island of Lobos just before landing.
On morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing better visibility without glare. The final 20 minutes are crucial; keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the turquoise waters separating Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
The Chiltern Hills
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the rolling green landscapes of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Bay of Biscay
Witness the vast, deep blue expanse of the Atlantic as the aircraft traverses the Bay of Biscay.
Cape St. Vincent
Spot the southwesternmost point of Portugal, where the rugged cliffs meet the crashing Atlantic waves.
Atlantic Horizon
Perfect for sunset views on late afternoon or evening flights as you head south-southwest.
Fuerteventura West Coast
During the approach, see the dramatic, desolate western cliffs and crashing surf of the island's windward side.
Choose the right side for evening flights to witness spectacular Atlantic sunsets. Note that this side faces the sun for much of the southward journey, so window shades might need to be lowered to prevent cabin overheating.
