Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the majestic Swiss Alps and the rugged Pyrenees, followed by an impressive approach over the northern Canary Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Prague

Depending on the specific air corridor, the historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' can often be spotted.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of Europe's highest peaks, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc if the path is southerly.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

The jagged mountain range forming the natural border between France and Spain.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic as the flight crosses the northern coast of Spain.

🏝️

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura

Striking aerial views of the easternmost Canary Islands' volcanic craters and golden beaches.

Choose the right side for the best mountain views. The Alps appear roughly 2 to 2.5 hours after takeoff. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. If the flight path follows the standard approach, you will see the northern coast of Tenerife and its lush green valleys before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Carpathian Mountains

Dramatic views of the snow-capped ranges across Western Ukraine and Romania shortly after departure.

🏙️

Vienna and Danube

The winding Danube river and the sprawling urban landscape of the Austrian capital.

🌊

Mediterranean Coast

Aerial vistas of the Spanish Costa del Sol and the turquoise waters of the Alboran Sea.

🌍

Gibraltar Strait

The narrow passage where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, with the Moroccan coast visible in the distance.

🌋

Mount Teide

A close-up view of Spain's highest peak as the plane banks for its final approach into Tenerife South.

The left side is optimal for morning flights as the sun remains on the opposite side, providing softer light for photography. Look for the Atlas Mountains of Morocco approximately 4 hours into the flight. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the dramatic contrast between the blue Atlantic and the dark volcanic soil of the island.
