BOH β TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring an immediate view of the Jurassic Coast after takeoff, potential sightings of Madeira mid-flight, and a breathtaking perspective of Mount Teide upon arrival.
Jurassic Coast
Immediate views of Lulworth Cove and the iconic Durdle Door stone arch just after takeoff from BOH.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic waters, often featuring large cargo vessels and dramatic cloud formations.
Madeira Island
The high peaks and lush green valleys of the Portuguese archipelago frequently appear midway through the flight.
Mount Teide
The crowning jewel of the route: Spain's highest peak rising above the 'sea of clouds' during the descent.
Los Cristianos
Bird's-eye views of the southern resort beaches and the neighboring island of La Gomera on the horizon.
This is the 'scenic' side for this route. Sit here for the best chance to see the volcanic peak of Teide, which is often snow-capped in winter months. Be aware that afternoon flights may face the sun for the duration of the journey, so keep your window shade handy.
Isle of Wight
Aerial view of the Western Needles and the chalk cliffs shortly after departing Bournemouth.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged western tip of France and the lighthouse-dotted shores of the Finistère department.
Portuguese Seaboard
Distant views of Porto and the Estremoz region as the flight path parallels the Iberian Peninsula.
Moroccan Horizon
On clear days, the hazy outline of the North African coast and the Atlas Mountains may be visible.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The island's capital and its bustling harbor as the aircraft descends along the eastern coast.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is particularly good for night flights to see the glowing city lights of Lisbon and Casablanca in the distance. During the final approach, you will get a great look at the industrial and port areas of the island.
