DUS → TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally considered the winner for this route, primarily for the spectacular and iconic views of Mount Teide and the rugged volcanic landscapes of northern Tenerife during the descent.

Bay of Biscay
A sweeping view of the Atlantic coastline where France meets Spain's northern 'Green Coast'.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of northern Spain are frequently visible during the transition from sea to land.
Portuguese Atlantic Coast
If the route takes a westerly track, you will see the dramatic cliffs and surf beaches of Portugal.
Mount Teide
The absolute highlight; the 3,715m volcanic peak usually towers above the clouds as you approach the island.
Anaga Mountains
The ancient, jagged green ridges of the northern tip of Tenerife visible during the initial descent phase.
To get the best view of Mount Teide, ensure you are seated in front of the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the volcano perfectly. This side is most likely to provide the 'wow' moment of the trip during the final 20 minutes of flight.

Ruhr Valley
Aerial perspective of the densely populated industrial heartland of Germany shortly after departure from DUS.
Central Massif & Pyrenees
Distant but impressive views of the high peaks marking the border between France and Spain.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, golden plains of central Spain, with visibility of Madrid if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
Gran Canaria
During the final approach, the neighboring island of Gran Canaria is often clearly visible across the water.
South Tenerife Coast
Views of the turquoise waters and white-sand beaches of the southern resorts just before touchdown.
Sit on the left if you enjoy seeing neighboring islands like Gran Canaria during the descent. For flights departing in the late afternoon, this side will be away from the direct sun, offering better conditions for photography without glare.
