MAN → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route primarily due to the spectacular approach into Fuerteventura, offering a clear view of Lanzarote's volcanic craters and the famous Corralejo sand dunes just before landing.

Manchester & Cheshire
Clear views of the Greater Manchester urban sprawl and the green Cheshire plains immediately after departure.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the vast blue waters between France and Spain, often seeing large cargo ships and tankers.
Lanzarote
Stunning aerial views of the neighboring island's volcanic 'Timanfaya' landscape during the descent.
Lobos Island
The tiny, uninhabited volcanic islet situated in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
The massive white sand dunes of the Parque Natural de Corralejo meeting the turquoise Atlantic waters.
Sit on the left (A/B seats) for the best views of the Canary Islands on arrival. For daytime flights, the sun will mostly be on the right side of the plane when flying south, meaning the left side is better for glare-free photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dramatic contrast between the blue ocean and the reddish volcanic soil.

Snowdonia National Park
On a southerly departure, the rugged peaks of North Wales are visible as the plane reaches cruising altitude.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the western horizon, perfect for capturing sunset colors on late afternoon departures.
Galician Coast
The jagged cliffs and 'Rias' (estuaries) of Northwest Spain as the flight path skirts the Iberian Peninsula.
Fuerteventura Interior
The arid, moon-like mountainous interior of the island during the final turn toward the runway.
The right side (E/F seats) is ideal for late-afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. While you may miss the close-up view of Lanzarote, you get a broader perspective of the island's volcanic spine during the final approach. Note that the sun can be quite intense on this side during midday flights, so keep the window blind handy.
