Which side of the plane to sit from Cork Airport (Cork) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers superior views during the descent, showcasing the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and the iconic sand dunes of Northern Fuerteventura.
Cork Harbour
Aerial views of the world's second-largest natural harbor and the colorful town of Cobh shortly after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
A vast crossing of the Atlantic where you can often spot large shipping vessels and deep blue oceanic trenches.
Lanzarote Volcanoes
As the flight nears its destination, you get a bird's-eye view of the Timanfaya National Park's lunar-like craters.
Corralejo Dunes
The spectacular 'mini-Sahara' sand dunes of Northern Fuerteventura as the plane begins its final approach.
Puerto del Rosario
The capital city and its bustling port become visible as the aircraft aligns with the runway at FUE airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also the best for photography during the descent into the Canaries, as the plane typically tracks along the eastern coast of Lanzarote.
West Cork Coast
Rugged views of the Wild Atlantic Way and the jagged peninsulas of Southern Ireland during departure.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean on late afternoon or evening departures.
Isla de Lobos
The small, uninhabited volcanic islet located in the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
El Cotillo Lagoons
Glancing west during the descent may reveal the turquoise lagoons and white sand beaches of Fuerteventura's northwest coast.
Choose the right side for evening flights to catch spectacular Atlantic sunsets. Be aware that the sun will be shining directly into your window for much of the journey on afternoon flights heading south.
