Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the Portuguese coastline, the Algarve region, and the most dramatic views of Mount Teide upon arrival in Tenerife.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🍷

Douro River Mouth

Immediate views of Porto's historic center and the Douro river meeting the Atlantic.

🏰

Lisbon Panorama

Distant but clear views of the Tagus estuary and the metropolitan area of the Portuguese capital.

🏖️

Algarve Coastline

The golden cliffs and turquoise waters of southern Portugal before the ocean crossing.

🐪

Moroccan Coast

Visible silhouettes of the North African coastline as the flight path skirts the continent.

🌋

Mount Teide

A stunning perspective of Spain's highest peak as the aircraft descends into Tenerife South.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is essential for seeing the majestic Mount Teide during the final approach into TFS, especially if the aircraft follows the common northeasterly arrival route.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean throughout the cruise.

🏝️

Berlengas Islands

A small, rocky archipelago visible shortly after takeoff from Porto.

🌅

Atlantic Sunset

Spectacular golden hour and sunset views on late afternoon flights heading south-southwest.

🏨

Costa Adeje

Views of the southern resort areas and the coastline during the final turn for landing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the ocean. While it offers fewer landmasses during the cruise, the arrival provides a wide-angle view of the southern Tenerife beaches and the ocean horizon.
