Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Andalusian wetlands during departure and provides a front-row seat to the eastern Canary Islands and the Las Palmas coastline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Sevilla Cityscape

Aerial views of the Giralda, the Cathedral, and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff.

🌿

Doñana National Park

The vast marshes and biodiversity of Europe's most important wetland area as you head toward the coast.

🏖️

Fuerteventura Coast

Usually visible during the descent, showing the white sand dunes of Corralejo and the turquoise waters of the strait.

⚓

Puerto de la Luz

A clear view of the bustling Port of Las Palmas and the Isleta peninsula as the plane aligns for the runway.

🌊

Pozo Izquierdo

The final approach offers views of the wind-swept eastern coast of Gran Canaria, famous for world-class windsurfing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better lighting for photos of the Andalusian marshes. During the final 20 minutes, stay alert for the stunning contrast between the deep blue Atlantic and the golden sands of Fuerteventura.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
⛱️

Costa de la Luz

Views of the Huelva province coastline and the sprawling sandy beaches near Mazagón.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the mid-flight duration.

🌋

Mount Teide

On clear days, Spain's highest peak on the neighboring island of Tenerife can be seen rising above the clouds to the west.

⛰️

Gran Canaria Highlands

Views of the rugged volcanic interior of the island, including the peaks of the central massif during the turn to land.

The right side is the best choice for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. If the weather is clear, keep an eye out for the silhouette of Tenerife and Mount Teide shortly before the descent into Gran Canaria begins.
