Right side scores higher due to the exceptional volcanic scenery during the landing phase at Lanzarote, which dominates the second half of the flight. While the takeoff from Sevilla is comparable on both sides, the approach to Lanzarote's Timanfaya landscape and dark lava fields provides genuine visual drama that left side (open ocean) cannot match. The combination of urban Sevilla departure and volcanic island arrival creates better overall variety.
