SXF → LPA
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience during the approach into Gran Canaria, featuring sweeping views of the northern coastline, the city of Las Palmas, and often a distant silhouette of Mount Teide on Tenerife.

Potsdam & Lakes
The historic palaces and the Havel river system visible shortly after departing the Berlin area.
Upper Rhine Valley
A clear view of the winding Rhine River and the border between Germany's Black Forest and France's Vosges.
Bay of Biscay
The transition from the rugged northern Spanish coast to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The high mountain peaks of central Spain, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Las Palmas & La Isleta
A stunning bird's-eye view of the island's capital and the distinctive volcanic peninsula during the final approach.
This is the prime side for evening flights as you may witness a sunset over the Atlantic. For the best experience, watch for Mount Teide on the neighboring island of Tenerife—it often stands above the cloud layer to the west. During the final approach into LPA, this side provides the most iconic views of the island's unique topography and urban centers.

Dahme-Spreewald
Aerial views of the lush, forested lake districts southeast of Berlin immediately after takeoff.
Massif Central
The dramatic volcanic plateaus and deep valleys of south-central France.
Madrid Skyline
On many flight paths, the sprawling Spanish capital and its skyscrapers are visible to the east.
Costa de la Luz
The sparkling coastline of the Gulf of Cádiz before the aircraft heads out over the open Atlantic.
Eastern Canaries
During descent, look for the arid, volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura in the distance.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly good for spotting the Moroccan coastline and the Saharan dust haze (Calima) if it is present. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the neighboring islands rising from the sea.
