Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic European Atlantic coastline and the iconic approach to Tenerife, featuring a close-up view of the Teide volcano.
French Atlantic Coast
Views of the rugged Brittany coastline and the Bay of Biscay crossing.
Portuguese Riviera
Exceptional views of the Lisbon coastline and the cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe.
Madeira Archipelago
Often visible as a small green jewel in the middle of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the view as the flight tracks south along the Tenerife coast.
Tenerife Northwest Coast
The dramatic cliffs of Los Gigantes and the lush northern valleys before reaching the south.
The right side is the 'money seat' for this route. Request a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of Mount Teide. On afternoon flights, you'll witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic as you approach the islands. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' that often clings to the northern side of the volcano.
The Pyrenees
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain if the flight path is inland.
Spanish Meseta
The high altitude central plateau of Spain with its distinctive ochre and reddish earth tones.
African Coastline
On clear days, the distant outline of the Moroccan coast and Western Sahara sands are visible.
Gran Canaria
As you descend toward Tenerife South, Gran Canaria often appears clearly out the left windows.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and harsh glare. This side is better for spotting neighboring Canary Islands like Gran Canaria during the final approach to TFS, especially if the plane circles before landing.
