HHN β TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic coastline of France and Portugal, followed by an iconic close-up of Mount Teide upon arrival in Tenerife.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and historic chateaux as you cross into Western France.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight path transitions from France to the Iberian Peninsula.
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of mainland Europe, where the rugged Portuguese cliffs meet the Atlantic.
Mount Teide
The majestic 3,715m volcanic peak of Tenerife, often rising above a sea of clouds during the approach.
Costa Adeje
Views of the turquoise waters and luxury resorts along the southern coast of Tenerife before touchdown.
The right side is the clear winner for the 'Teide view'. To get the best photo of the volcano, try to sit behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For daytime flights, this side remains in the shade during the southbound journey, offering better lighting for photography.
HunsrΓΌck Mountains
Dense forests and rolling hills surrounding Frankfurt-Hahn immediately after takeoff.
Central Iberia
Distant views of the Spanish Meseta and potentially the outskirts of Madrid depending on the airway.
Gran Canaria
A stunning aerial view of the neighboring island's circular volcanic profile during the final descent.
African Horizon
On very clear days, the distant hazy outline of the Moroccan coastline can be visible to the east.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the lights of Spanish cities during a night flight or if you want a clear view of Gran Canaria while descending into TFS. Note that the morning sun will be on this side, which can cause glare.
