Search flights from CCS to TFN
Venezuelan Littoral
Excellent views of the La Guaira coastline and the steep mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa during takeoff.
Mount Teide
The crown jewel of the flight: Spain's highest peak often rises majestically above a 'sea of clouds' during descent.
Western Canary Islands
Clear views of La Palma and El Hierro rising from the ocean as the aircraft enters the archipelago's airspace.
Orotava Valley
A lush, green valley that sweeps down from the volcanic center to the northern Atlantic coast.
Santa Cruz Vista
A perspective of the capital city and its harbor during the final approach into Tenerife Norte.
The right side is essential for the arrival sequence. Ensure you are awake at least 45 minutes before landing. As the plane approaches the Canary Islands from the west, Mount Teide will be the most prominent landmark on this side. During the morning arrival, the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing excellent lighting for photography of the volcanic landscape.

Caribbean Horizon
Expansive views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea immediately after departing the Venezuelan coast.
Lesser Antilles
Distant glimpses of the windward islands such as Grenada or Barbados depending on the specific flight path.
Atlantic Sunrise
On overnight flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sun rising over the open ocean.
Anaga Massif
The rugged, ancient mountain peaks of northeast Tenerife visible during the final turn for landing.
Choose the left side for better lighting during the early stages of the flight if departing Caracas in the afternoon, as you will be facing away from the direct sun. It is ideal for those who enjoy the transition from deep Caribbean blues to the dark indigo of the Atlantic.
