Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, and the dramatic volcanic interior of Gran Canaria during this short inter-island hop.
Search flights from LPA to TFS
Pico de las Nieves
The rugged, mountainous heart of Gran Canaria is visible immediately after departure from LPA.
Mount Teide
The massive volcanic peak of Tenerife, often rising above the cloud layer, dominates the horizon for most of the flight.
Corona Forestal
The lush canary pine forests surrounding the Teide National Park are visible as the plane approaches the island.
Montaña Roja
A striking red volcanic cinder cone located right on the coast near the Tenerife South runway.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. To ensure the best view of Mount Teide, book a morning flight when the air is clearest; by afternoon, the peak is often shrouded in 'panza de burro' clouds. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the central caldera of Gran Canaria.

Maspalomas Dunes
The famous golden sand dunes at the southern tip of Gran Canaria can be seen shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Channel
Panoramic views of the deep blue waters separating the central Canary Islands.
El Médano
The vibrant coastline of southern Tenerife, known for its windsurfing and kiteboarding beaches, appears during descent.
Choose the left side for sweeping ocean vistas and views of the southern tourist resorts of Gran Canaria. On morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which is excellent for viewing the sparkling Atlantic, though it may cause glare for photographers.
