Which side of the plane to sit from Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a stunning departure over the Black Forest and a superior approach to Gran Canaria, offering an iconic view of Mount Teide on the neighboring island of Tenerife.
Black Forest
Immediate views of the dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
The rugged coastline of the Basque Country where the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Western Pyrenees
A different perspective of the mountain range as you transition from French to Spanish airspace.
Mount Teide
A magnificent view of Spain's highest peak on Tenerife during the final approach to Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas Coastline
Detailed views of the northern cliffs and the capital city of Las Palmas as the plane banks for landing.
The right side is the clear winner for the 'Teide View'—about 20-30 minutes before landing, look for the massive volcanic cone of Tenerife rising above the clouds. For evening flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the ancient volcanic peaks and green valleys of central France.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic vistas of the snow-capped border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden plateaus of central Spain stretching toward the horizon.
Lanzarote and Fuerteventura
On clear days, the easternmost Canary Islands appear like volcanic jewels in the Atlantic.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the high-altitude landscapes of the Spanish interior and the first glimpses of the archipelago's eastern islands during the descent.
