Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes of the flight; the transition from the blue Atlantic to the volcanic reds and blacks of the Canary Islands is breathtaking. If the plane approaches from the north, you will fly directly over Lanzarote's volcanic fields.

The right side is ideal for catching glimpses of the Atlantic coastline of Spain and Portugal. During afternoon flights, be prepared for more direct sunlight on this side.

Look out for the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow reef waters near the shore.
