Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it offers better views of the rugged Corsican peaks, the Balearic Islands, the iconic Strait of Gibraltar, and the stunning descent past Mount Teide.
Tuscan Archipelago
Stunning views of Elba Island and the smaller islands off the coast of Tuscany shortly after takeoff.
Corsica
Close-up views of the high, jagged granite peaks of central Corsica.
Balearic Islands
Aerial panoramas of Majorca and Ibiza as the flight path crosses the Mediterranean.
Strait of Gibraltar
A rare view of the 'Pillars of Hercules' where Europe and Africa almost touch.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the view during the descent into Tenerife South.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide upon arrival. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Strait of Gibraltar. During afternoon flights, use a polarizing filter for photos as the sun will be positioned to the southwest, potentially creating glare on the water and windows.
Sardinia
Aerial views of the wild northern coastline of Sardinia and the Emerald Coast.
Moroccan Coastline
The dramatic transition from the Mediterranean to the North African Atlantic coast.
Atlas Mountains
Distant views of the snow-capped Atlas range across the Moroccan landscape.
Gran Canaria
Clear views of the circular island of Gran Canaria shortly before beginning the final approach to Tenerife.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters dotted with small Italian islands shortly after departing Pisa.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking towards the African continent. On morning flights, you will be in the shade for most of the journey, which is better for photography. Watch for the stark contrast of the Sahara sands meeting the Atlantic as you head south along the coast.
