GRZ → TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Graz Airport (Graz) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring a close-up of the Alps after departure, the Pyrenees crossing, and the iconic approach past Mount Teide on Tenerife.
Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Austrian and Italian Alps shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Pyrenees Mountains
A spectacular crossing of the rugged, high-altitude border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, arid, and colorful high plateau of central Spain, featuring unique agricultural patterns.
Mount Teide
The absolute highlight; Tenerife's massive volcanic peak is usually visible on the right during the descent into TFS.
Canary Archipelago
Early sightings of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura as the plane begins its final approach sequence.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, during the approach to Tenerife South. Be aware that during afternoon flights, this side will be in direct sunlight for most of the journey, so bring sunglasses.
Styrian Basin
Aerial views of Graz and the rolling green hills of southern Austria immediately after takeoff.
Balearic Islands
On a southerly routing, look out for the coastlines of Mallorca and Ibiza sparkling in the Mediterranean.
Gibraltar & Morocco
Distant views of the Rock of Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains of North Africa as you exit the Mediterranean.
Atlantic Coastline
The transition from the blue Mediterranean to the deep navy of the Atlantic Ocean near the Gulf of Cadiz.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel southwest. It provides excellent views of the North African coastline if the flight path stays south of the Iberian Peninsula.
