SPC โ FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from La Palma Airport (Santa Cruz De La Palma) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the other Canary Islands, including Mount Teide, the rugged landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula, and the iconic Frankfurt skyline upon arrival.
Mount Teide
Unrivaled views of Tenerifeโs volcano, the highest point in Spain, visible shortly after departure.
Canary Panorama
A stunning aerial view of Tenerife and potentially Gran Canaria shimmering in the Atlantic.
Lisbon & Tagus River
The sprawling Portuguese capital and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge visible from high altitude.
Picos de Europa
The sharp limestone peaks of Northern Spainโs most famous mountain range as you cross the coast.
Parisian Basin
Distant views of the French capital's sprawl and the winding Seine River on clear days.
Frankfurt Skyline
The spectacular 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers during the final approach or downwind leg into FRA.
For the best view of Mount Teide, look out within the first 15 minutes of the flight. On approach to Frankfurt, the right side usually offers superior views of the financial district skyscrapers if the aircraft approaches from the South or West.
Caldera de Taburiente
Breathtaking view of La Palma's massive central crater during the initial climb.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the western cliffs and beaches along the Portuguese and Galician coasts.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse where the Atlantic meets the European shelf, often dotted with cargo ships.
Western France
The lush green landscapes and winding rivers of the French countryside as you cross the continent.
Taunus Nature Park
Dense German forests and rolling hills during the final descent into Frankfurt.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the right side. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the unique volcanic topography of La Palma.
