Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Central Pyrenees, the rugged Atlantic coastline of the Iberian Peninsula, and a dramatic final approach over Lanzarote's Timanfaya National Park volcanic craters.
Harz Mountains
Early flight views of Northern Germany's highest mountain range and dense forests.
Central Pyrenees
Spectacular snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain, visible at cruising altitude.
Bay of Biscay
The transition from the French mainland to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
Timanfaya Volcanic Park
Extraterrestrial-looking landscapes of basaltic lava and red volcanic cones during the final approach.
El Golfo Lagoon
A unique view of the green lagoon inside a half-submerged volcanic crater on the west coast.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of Lanzarote's 'Fire Mountains'. Be aware that the sun will be on this side during late afternoon flights, which can make it quite warm and bright. The best views occur about 15 minutes before landing when the plane aligns with the island's western coastline.
Berlin Cityscape
Aerial views of central Berlin and the Tiergarten park immediately after takeoff from the Tegel area.
Loire Valley
Overview of the winding Loire River and its surrounding French countryside and historic chateaus.
Madrid Metro
Visibility of the Spanish capital's dense urban grid and the distant Sierra de Guadarrama.
Strait of Gibraltar
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the North African coast and the Pillars of Hercules.
Fuerteventura
Dramatic views of Lanzarote's neighbor island and the narrow Estrecho de la Bocaina during descent.
The left side is ideal for catching a glimpse of the African continent across the water as you cross the Atlantic. For mid-day flights, you will be facing away from the sun, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Canary archipelago's turquoise waters.
