Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for the breathtaking approach to Tenerife, offering a prime view of Mount Teide and the dramatic western coastline of the island.
Wadden Sea
The unique UNESCO-listed tidal flats and islands of the German coast visible immediately after takeoff from Bremen.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged western tip of France and the lighthouse-dotted shores of the Celtic Sea.
Bay of Biscay
The vast expanse of the deep Atlantic where you can often spot the wake of large cargo ships heading to the English Channel.
Mount Teide
The majestic 3,715-meter volcanic peak of Tenerife, often rising above a layer of trade wind clouds.
Los Gigantes
Massive vertical cliffs dropping into the Atlantic along the western shore as the plane turns for its final approach.
The Right Side is the clear winner for the final approach into TFS. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to get an unobstructed view of Mount Teide. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing the best lighting for the volcano's red and brown hues.
Benelux Urban Centers
Aerial views of the densely populated regions of the Netherlands and Belgium shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The famous wine-producing regions of Southwest France and the Garonne river winding through the landscape.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible as the flight crosses the Cantabrian coast.
Canary Island Archipelago
Panoramic views of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and Gran Canaria during the final 45 minutes of the flight.
Gran Canaria
The circular profile of Gran Canaria appears on the left shortly before the final descent into Tenerife South.
The Left Side is excellent for spotting the 'islands of eternal spring' during the descent. In winter, these islands appear remarkably green compared to the Sahara. For sunset flights, this side offers softer, indirect light which is perfect for photography.
