SVQACE

Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

While both sides offer coastal views, the Left Side provides a superior perspective of the Lanzarote coastline and volcanic terrain during the descent and final approach into Arrecife.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Cádiz Bay

Aerial views of the iconic bridges and the historic city of Cádiz surrounded by the sea.

🚢

Strait of Gibraltar

On clear days, glimpse the narrow passage between Europe and the African continent.

🏜️

Moroccan Coastline

The distant silhouette of the North African coast is often visible across the water.

🏙️

Arrecife Capital

A beautiful view of the island's capital with its distinct white buildings and harbor.

🌋

Lanzarote Volcanic Fields

A dramatic look at the black lava fields and cinder cones that define the island's landscape.

Choose the left side for the most dramatic entry into the Canary Islands. The aircraft typically tracks parallel to the eastern coast of Lanzarote during descent. Morning flights are ideal because the sun is positioned behind the plane, illuminating the turquoise waters and volcanic textures without glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛪

Sevilla Landmarks

Catch views of the Cathedral and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff.

🦆

Doñana National Park

Fly over one of Europe's most important wetland reserves and its shifting sand dunes.

🏖️

Costa de la Luz

The endless golden beaches stretching from Huelva towards the Portuguese border.

🌊

Atlantic Expanse

Enjoy the vast, deep blue horizon of the Atlantic Ocean during the mid-flight cruise.

🏝️

Fuerteventura Vistas

Spot the neighboring island to the south if the flight path makes a wide turn for landing.

The right side is excellent for the initial climb, offering views of the Andalusian plains and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which can make it quite warm and create a glare on the window.
