Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌳

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.
