Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic European mountain ranges and the most iconic perspective of Mount Teide during the standard approach into Tenerife South.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Aerial views of the Vltava River and the historic towers of the Czech capital immediately after departure.

🏔️

The Swiss Alps

Distant but impressive views of snow-capped peaks to the south while traversing southern Germany and France.

⛰️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacén, visible as the flight crosses Andalusia.

🌊

Costa del Sol

A beautiful panorama of the Mediterranean coastline near Malaga before the aircraft heads out over the Atlantic.

🌋

Mount Teide

Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak during the descent, as planes typically fly south along Tenerife's eastern coast.

Book a seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while viewing the European mainland. The descent into TFS usually follows a path that puts the volcano Teide and the lush Orotava Valley in clear view on this side. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure your photos of the Spanish mountains are unobstructed.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany visible early in the flight path.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the jagged mountain border between France and Spain, often featuring deep glacial valleys.

🏘️

Madrid Region

Views of the sprawling Spanish capital and the arid landscapes of the high Meseta Central plateau.

🏖️

Portuguese Coastline

Distant views of the Atlantic cliffs and beaches of the Algarve as the plane leaves the European mainland.

🏝️

Canary Islands Approach

First glimpses of the eastern islands like Lanzarote and Fuerteventura appearing as volcanic dots in the blue Atlantic.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. Watch for the Pyrenees roughly 100 to 120 minutes after takeoff. This side provides a great sense of the vastness of the ocean during the final hour of flight. If the airport is using an alternative landing pattern from the west, this side may get the better view of the coastline.
