Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the African coastline and the stunning volcanic topography of Lanzarote during the final approach into Fuerteventura.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Berlin Capital View

Aerial perspective of the sprawling German capital and the Grunewald forest immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.

🏰

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain, punctuated by ancient cities and arid riverbeds.

🌊

Strait of Gibraltar

On clear days, see the narrow gap where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean and the tip of Africa.

🏜️

Moroccan Coastline

Excellent views of the Western Saharan and Moroccan desert sands meeting the turquoise Atlantic waters.

🌋

Lanzarote Volcanos

A breathtaking fly-by of Timanfaya National Park's craters and black lava fields just before landing.

Book a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed photos of the Canary Islands approach. Morning flights offer better lighting for the European landmass, while late afternoon flights provide a beautiful glow over the African coast. Watch for the distinctive 'moonscape' of Lanzarote approximately 15 minutes before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Central German Uplands

Dense green forests and rolling hills of the Weser Uplands shortly after departure.

🗼

Paris Vicinity

Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the Parisian urban sprawl if the flight path tracks westerly.

🏖️

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic as the flight crosses from the French coast toward Northern Spain.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

Jagged limestone massifs visible as the plane enters Spanish airspace from the north.

🌉

Portuguese Atlantic Coast

Stunning views of the cliffs and crashing waves along the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula.

🏝️

Lobos Island

A small, uninhabited nature reserve islet visible just off the northern tip of Fuerteventura during descent.

The right side is ideal for sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips into the Atlantic. This side is typically quieter for sleeping as it faces the open ocean for a large portion of the cruise. Look for the white sand dunes of Corralejo as you make your final turn toward the airport runway.
