NUE → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Pyrenees and the Spanish heartland, the right side is generally superior for the final approach into Fuerteventura, providing a breathtaking perspective of the Corralejo sand dunes and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic coast.

Black Forest & Vosges
Distant but clear views of the dense, dark green canopies of the Black Forest and the neighboring French Vosges mountains.
Biscay Coastline
The dramatic meeting point of the Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay near San Sebastian as you enter Spanish airspace.
Sierra Morena
The rugged southern mountain ranges of Spain, offering deep valleys and complex geological formations.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
A highlight of the trip: the vast, Sahara-like white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura during the final approach.
Volcanic Ridges
Panoramic views of Fuerteventura's ancient, eroded volcanic cones and stark desert landscapes before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival. Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Corralejo Natural Park. If flying in the afternoon, be prepared for some sun glare as you head southwest, so bring sunglasses.

Nuremberg & Franconia
Immediate views of Nuremberg's historic city center and the rolling hills of the Franconian Jura shortly after takeoff.
The Pyrenees Ridges
A spectacular crossing of the high peaks separating France and Spain, often featuring snow-capped summits.
La Mancha Plains
The iconic, vast golden plateaus of central Spain, famous for their historic windmills and agricultural patterns.
Gulf of Cadiz
The transition from the Iberian Peninsula to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean near the southern tip of Spain.
Lanzarote Vistas
During the descent, clear views of the neighboring island of Lanzarote and the small islet of Lobos.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the island of Lanzarote just before landing at FUE. Keep an eye out for the distinctive volcanic craters as you begin your final descent.
