Bay of Biscay
Stunning views of the deep blue Atlantic meeting the rugged coastline of the Basque Country and Cantabria.
Costa Verde
The lush, green northern coast of Spain transitions into the rocky cliffs of the Galician shore.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted ocean views perfect for catching the sunset on late afternoon or evening departures.
Mount Teide
Spain’s highest peak typically looms large on the right as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Tenerife South.
Anaga Massif
The ancient, jagged laurel-forest-covered mountains of northern Tenerife are visible during the initial descent.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the arrival. For the best view of Mount Teide, which often pierces through the clouds, book a window seat here. Be aware that the sun will be on this side during afternoon flights, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for the coastal views.

Parisian Outskirts
Aerial views of the Ile-de-France region and the winding Seine River shortly after takeoff from CDG.

The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain are visible as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Tagus River

Gran Canaria
On the final approach to TFS, the mountainous profile of the neighboring Canary Island often appears to the east.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the Spanish and Portuguese interior. During the descent into Tenerife South, you may see the southern coastline of the island and the wind farms near El Médano.
