LUX โ LPA
Which side of the plane to sit from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Massif Central, the high Pyrenees, and a stunning aerial approach past the eastern Canary Islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged terrain of south-central France shortly after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
Aerial crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, offering dramatic ridge views.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, characterized by unique agricultural patterns.
Gulf of Cรกdiz
The point where the Iberian Peninsula meets the Atlantic Ocean before the long overwater stretch.
Fuerteventura
During descent, the barren, volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura is often visible to the east.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on morning flights and to see the other Canary Islands during the standard approach into LPA. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to capture the Pyrenees without engine obstruction.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters of the Atlantic coast where the French and Spanish borders meet.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches along the edge of the Iberian Peninsula.
Mount Teide
On very clear days, Spain's highest peak on neighboring Tenerife may be visible on the horizon during descent.
Gran Canaria North Coast
As the plane turns for final approach, catch glimpses of the island's steep northern cliffs.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers the best chance to spot the silhouette of Tenerife and its massive volcano, Teide, as you near Gran Canaria.
