Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is generally superior for this long-haul route, offering stunning views of the North Sea coastline, the Bay of Biscay, and a spectacular approach to Tenerife that usually features a clear view of Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak.

Gulf of Finland
A beautiful sweep of the Russian and Finnish coastal waters immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the deep blue expanse of the Atlantic off the western coast of France.
Picos de Europa
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges visible as the aircraft skirts the northern coast of Spain.
Mount Teide
The undisputed star of the route; the massive volcanic peak of Tenerife dominates the horizon during descent.
Cloud Sea (Mar de Nubes)
The famous trade wind clouds that often ring the northern part of the island like a white collar.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of Mount Teide upon arrival at TFS. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure your view of the volcano isn't obstructed. For the best photography, a daytime flight arriving before 4:00 PM is ideal to capture the contrast between the volcanic earth and the Atlantic blue.

Baltic Shoreline
Detailed views of the Estonian and Latvian coastlines shortly after departure from St. Petersburg.
Central European Hubs
Clear aerial perspectives of the outskirts of Warsaw and the industrial heart of Germany.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain during the mid-flight crossing.
Gran Canaria View
As you begin the final descent, the island of Gran Canaria is often visible to the south across the water.
Choose the left side for a better chance of seeing the African coastline (Morocco) in the distance during the final hour of flight. If traveling in the morning, this side will be in the sun, so keep your window shade down periodically to avoid glare. Late afternoon flights provide excellent 'golden hour' lighting on the Spanish plateaus.
