Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Pyrenees mountain range and the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote during the final descent.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain with jagged peaks and deep valleys.
Madrid & Meseta
Views of the high Spanish plateau and the sprawling urban layout of the capital city.
Atlantic Deep
The transition from the Iberian Peninsula to the deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.
Timanfaya National Park
Stunning views of the 'Fire Mountains' and blackened lava fields as the plane descends into Lanzarote.
Arrecife
The white-washed architecture of Lanzarote's capital city just before touching down at ACE.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'volcanic approach' into Lanzarote. For afternoon flights, you'll have a front-row seat to the sunset over the Atlantic. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of the Timanfaya craters isn't obstructed by the engine or wing structure.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible far to the southeast.
Levante Coast
Aerial views of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, stretching from Valencia down to the Costa del Sol.
Moroccan Coastline
The rugged cliffs of the North African coast and the edge of the Sahara desert often appear on the horizon.
Isla de Lobos
The small, uninhabited island near Fuerteventura is often visible during the final banking maneuvers.
Choose the left side for morning departures to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean without direct glare. This side is also better for spotting the Moroccan coastline about 40 minutes before arrival. During winter months, look for snow on the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain.
