Which side of the plane to sit from Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Portuguese coastline and the iconic approach to Tenerife, featuring views of Mount Teide.
St George's Channel
Vibrant blue waters where the Irish Sea meets the Atlantic along the Welsh coast.
Land's End
The final tip of the British mainland in Cornwall is often visible before the crossing of the Bay of Biscay.
Lisbon & Cascais
Stunning views of the Tagus River estuary and the golden beaches of the Portuguese Riviera.
Mount Teide
The massive volcanic peak of Tenerife dominates the right-side window during the arrival pattern.
Book an afternoon flight for the chance to see a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is highly recommended for the approach into Tenerife South, as the aircraft typically banks to provide a perfect view of the volcano and the rugged south-western cliffs.
Blackpool Tower
Immediate views of the famous iron-framed tower and the Golden Mile shortly after takeoff.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged mountains and glacial landforms of North Wales are visible as you head south.
Portuguese Hinterlands
Aerial perspectives of the rolling plains and rural landscapes of central Portugal.
Gran Canaria Profile
The neighboring Canary Island often appears as a silhouette on the horizon during the final descent.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight and see the UK coastline clearly. On the final approach into TFS, keep an eye out for the distinctive red soil and volcanic craters of the eastern coast.
