Portuguese Shoreline
Distant views of the Algarve and the rugged cliffs marking the edge of continental Europe.
Lanzarote Volcanics
A spectacular view of the island's unique lunar landscape and La Graciosa island during descent.
Choose the left side for the best 'arrival experience' into Lanzarote; the plane usually approaches from the north, offering views of the volcanic peaks and white-washed villages. For morning flights, this side may experience some sun glare early on, but it offers the most land-based landmarks throughout the journey.

Atlantic Sunsets

Chinijo Archipelago
Glimpses of the small uninhabited islets north of Lanzarote just before landing.
The right side is perfect for passengers who prefer the serenity of the open ocean and wish to avoid the direct sun during afternoon flights. While land views are limited after leaving the UK, the right side often provides a clear view of the sun setting over the Atlantic on evening departures. Keep an eye out for the uninhabited islets of Alegranza and MontaΓ±a Clara during the final descent phase.
