Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning rugged landscapes of the Scottish west coast upon departure and the most iconic view of the Teide volcano during the approach into Tenerife.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Firth of Clyde

Incredible vistas of the Isle of Arran and the Kintyre Peninsula shortly after lifting off from Glasgow.

🍀

Northern Irish Coast

Views of the Antrim Coast and potentially the Giant's Causeway area if the flight path tracks west.

🌋

Mount Teide

The definitive view of Spain's highest peak as it rises above the cloud layer during the approach to Tenerife South.

🏝️

La Gomera

A clear view of the neighboring island of La Gomera across the Atlantic during the plane's final turns for landing.

To capture the iconic photo of Mount Teide, ensure you are seated in the front (rows 1-10) or far behind the wing (rows 25+) to avoid obstruction. For evening flights, expect a dramatic sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, though window blinds may be required due to direct sun intensity.

Left Side Highlights

⛰️

Southern Uplands

Bird's-eye view of the rolling green hills and forestry of Southern Scotland immediately after takeoff.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Welsh Coastline

Distant sightings of the Pembrokeshire coast and the Celtic Sea as the aircraft tracks south.

🏖️

Cornish Peninsula

Clear views of the southwestern tip of England and the English Channel on routes tracking closer to the mainland.

🏝️

Gran Canaria

The silhouette of Gran Canaria is frequently visible on the horizon during the final descent into the Canary archipelago.

The left side is ideal for spotting the European coastline and other Canary Islands. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, providing consistent lighting for photography without glare.
