Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
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.
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.
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.
