BGY → TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains, and the iconic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar, finishing with a front-row view of Mount Teide upon arrival.
Italian Coast
The dramatic meeting of the Ligurian Alps and the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Levante
Stunning views of the Valencia coastline and the dense urban landscape of the Costa Blanca.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow gateway between the Atlantic and Mediterranean, clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Mount Teide
An unbeatable view of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic landscape during the descent into TFS.
Atlantic Ocean
The transition from the coastal shelf to the deep, dark blue of the open Atlantic.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. As the aircraft approaches Tenerife South from the northeast, the island's coastline and the massive Teide volcano are prominently displayed on this side. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic craters and lava flows.
Balearic Islands
Bird's-eye views of Mallorca and Ibiza's turquoise bays and rugged coastlines.
Alboran Sea
The westernmost part of the Mediterranean where Europe meets Africa.
African Coastline
Distant but clear sightings of the Moroccan coast and the Rif mountain range.
Western Sahara
Golden desert sands meeting the Atlantic Ocean as the plane turns south.
Morning Light
Ideal lighting for photography without direct sun glare on morning flights.
Sit on the left for early morning departures to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the Balearic Islands during the middle of the flight. As you approach Tenerife, look for the distant silhouette of Gran Canaria on the left horizon.
