Search flights from NRN to TFS
Loire Valley
View the winding rivers and agricultural patterns of central France shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Alentejo Coast
The rugged, wild Atlantic coastline of Portugal featuring turquoise waters and steep cliffs.
Strait of Gibraltar
On very clear days, the distant gap where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean is visible to the southeast.
Lanzarote and Fuerteventura
As you enter the Canary airspace, these islands appear as striking volcanic silhouettes against the deep blue sea.
Mount Teide
The massive volcanic peak of Tenerife dominates the horizon during the final approach into the south airport.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For the morning flight, the sun will be on the left, so keep your window shade down initially, but open it as you reach the Iberian Peninsula. The approach into TFS often passes the eastern islands, making the left side spectacular for seeing the 'moonscape' of the archipelago.

Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue water contrasting with the rugged northwestern tip of the Iberian Peninsula.
Lisbon Coastline
Distant views of the Tagus River estuary and the coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes between Europe and the Americas.
Madeira Archipelago
Depending on the specific flight path, the mountainous island of Madeira may be visible in the distance to the west.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular sunsets over the open ocean.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. While you see less land during the mid-flight, the approach into Tenerife South can sometimes offer a close-up of the island's southern coastline and the Los Cristianos area if the plane performs a loop before landing.
