Roque Nublo
The volcanic core and iconic monolith of Gran Canaria visible shortly after departure if the plane turns west.
Santa Cruz Port
A clear view of the bustling capital city and the Auditorio de Tenerife's modern architecture.
Mount Teide
The majestic peak of the volcano dominates the horizon, often appearing above the 'sea of clouds'.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna
The UNESCO World Heritage city located right next to the airport runway during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best orientation toward the sun during midday flights to avoid glare. This side is essential for photography of Mount Teide. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Gran Canaria highlands during initial climb.

Las Canteras Beach
One of the world's best urban beaches located in Las Palmas, visible if the flight takes off towards the north.
Atlantic Ocean
The deep blue waters between the islands where you can sometimes spot whitecaps or passing ferries.
Anaga Rural Park
Dramatic, jagged green mountain ridges that represent the oldest geological part of Tenerife.
North Tenerife Cliffs
The rugged northern coastline where steep volcanic rock meets the Atlantic waves.
The right side is ideal for views of the capital, Las Palmas, immediately after takeoff. On the approach to Tenerife Norte, keep an eye out for the lush, laurel-forested peaks of the Anaga Massif. Morning flights provide the best lighting for these green landscapes.
