Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular arrival experience, showcasing Lanzarote's unique volcanic craters and dramatic coastline as you descend.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Bay of Biscay

The vast transition from the European continent to the deep Atlantic blue.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Dramatic views of the jagged limestone peaks in northern Spain.

🌋

Timanfaya National Park

Incredible bird's-eye view of the Martian-like volcanic craters and lava fields.

🏖️

Famara Cliffs

Massive vertical cliffs dropping into the Atlantic on the north of the island.

🌅

Ocean Sunset

On evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun dipping below the Atlantic.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'volcano landing.' Sit here to see the Fire Mountains and the stark contrast between black lava and white villages. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography without glare.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🇫🇷

French Countryside

Rolling hills and the distinct rural patterns of central and western France.

🏙️

Madrid Metro Area

Distant but clear views of the sprawling Spanish capital and its central plateau.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The rugged mountain range providing a stark transition into southern Spain.

🌊

African Coastline

Hazy views of the Moroccan coast and Western Sahara appearing on the horizon.

🏝️

Fuerteventura

A clear view of Lanzarote's neighbor to the south during the final approach.

Choose the left side for midday flights to avoid direct sunlight and to catch glimpses of mainland Spain and the distant North African coast. It provides a great perspective of the archipelago's orientation as you arrive.
