Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the diverse European and African landmasses, including the Dutch coast, the Spanish interior, and the proximity of the Moroccan coastline before reaching the Canary Islands.

Oslofjord
Aerial views of the islands and intricate waterways of southern Norway immediately after takeoff.
Low Countries
The geometric polders, dikes, and coastal defenses of the Netherlands and Belgium.
Aquitaine Coast
The massive Dune du Pilat and the pine forests of the Landes region in southwest France.
Pyrenees Mountains
Snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high, arid plateau of central Spain with its distinct ochre and terracotta earth tones.
Moroccan Shoreline
Distant views of the Atlas Mountains and the rugged Atlantic coast of North Africa.
Gran Canaria
A close-up view of Tenerife's neighboring island during the final descent into TFS.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind the plane, providing better lighting for photography. This side is superior for seeing the lights of coastal cities like Casablanca if flying in the evening. Watch for the 'crossing' over the Strait of Gibraltar area, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.

North Sea
Vast expanses of water featuring offshore wind farms and busy shipping lanes.
English Channel
Views toward the White Cliffs of Dover and the southern tip of the United Kingdom.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged, rocky coastline of western France extending into the Atlantic.
Portuguese Coast
Breathtaking views of Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the cliffs of Cabo da Roca.
Mount Teide
The absolute highlight; Spain's highest peak often emerges above the clouds during the approach.
Cloud Seas
The 'Mar de Nubes' phenomenon where trade winds create a fluffy white carpet around the islands.
The right side is unbeatable for the 'grand entrance' to Tenerife, as Mount Teide is usually visible on this side during the standard approach. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare. This is the better side if you enjoy the deep blue aesthetics of the open Atlantic and the Portuguese Riviera.
