German Lowlands

Scenic views of the forests and lakes surrounding the Berlin-Brandenburg region shortly after takeoff.

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue waters of the North Atlantic meeting the rugged coastline of Northern Spain.

🇵🇹

Portuguese Coastline

Distant views of the Atlantic cliffs and the Tagus estuary near Lisbon depending on the airway.

🏝️

Island of Lanzarote

A spectacular close-up view of Timanfaya National Park and the volcanic 'moonscape' during descent.

🏖️

Corralejo Dunes

The famous white sand dunes and turquoise waters of northern Fuerteventura just before touchdown.

Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of the trip. On evening flights, you will witness a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of Lanzarote and the Isla de Lobos during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

🌋

Fuerteventura Volcanic Peaks

Rugged, ancient volcanic craters visible as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a better angle for viewing the Pyrenees and the center of mainland Spain. During landing, look for the southern tip of Lanzarote as the plane makes its final turn toward the runway.
