Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic entry into the Canary Islands, featuring unparalleled views of Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain, alongside the rugged coastline of North Wales during departure.
Snowdonia National Park
Spectacular views of the peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, shortly after leaving the Liverpool airspace.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon or evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the open ocean.
Mount Teide
The undisputed star of the route; the massive volcanic peak dominates the landscape as the aircraft descends along the western side of Tenerife.
Los Cristianos
As the plane banks for its final approach, you get a clear view of the popular southern resort towns and their golden beaches.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. To avoid the wing obstructing this massive volcano, aim for seats either well in front of or behind the wing assembly. This side is also best for evening flights to enjoy the sunset.
Mersey Estuary
Aerial views of the Liverpool docks, the Wirral Peninsula, and the historic Liverpool waterfront immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean often featuring interesting cloud formations and the occasional sight of large cargo vessels.
Portuguese Coastline
Depending on the specific airway, you can often spot the white sandy beaches and urban sprawl of the Lisbon metropolitan area.
Gran Canaria
On the final approach into Tenerife South, the neighboring island of Gran Canaria is frequently visible on the horizon to the east.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. On descent, keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Gran Canaria rising from the Atlantic as you align with the runway at TFS.
