Which side of the plane to sit from Zweibrücken Airport (Zweibruecken) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Pyrenees mountains and a spectacular aerial tour of Lanzarote's volcanic landscape and the Corralejo sand dunes during the final approach into Fuerteventura.
The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the high peaks and glacial valleys separating France and Spain.
Central Meseta
The high, arid plateau of central Spain, featuring the rolling hills of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Lanzarote
A close-up view of the Timanfaya volcanic craters and dark lava fields as you fly past the neighboring island.
Isla de Lobos
A small, protected volcanic islet sitting in the crystal-clear waters of the Bocaina Strait.
Corralejo Dunes
The vast, white Saharan sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura visible during the low-altitude descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic entry into the Canary Islands. The approach usually follows a path south past Lanzarote, offering incredible views of the 'Moon Landscape'. For morning flights, this side also avoids the harsh direct sunlight reflecting off the Atlantic.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic hills and dense forests of south-central France.
Iberian Coastline
Distant glimpses of the Portuguese coast meeting the deep blue of the Atlantic.
Betancuria Massif
The oldest geological part of Fuerteventura, featuring rugged cliffs on the island's west side.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, often filled with impressive cloud formations.
The right side is the 'sunset side' for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular colors over the ocean. While it offers less land-based scenery during the cruise, it provides a sense of the vastness of the Atlantic as you approach the African shelf.
