Which side of the plane to sit from La Palma Airport (Santa Cruz De La Palma) to Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the majestic Mount Teide and the volcanic landscapes of the Canary archipelago during the short transit.
Cumbre Vieja
Views of the southern volcanic ridge of La Palma, including areas affected by recent volcanic activity.
Mount Teide
Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak rising 3,715 meters above the sea, often piercing through the clouds.
La Orotava Valley
A vast, lush green valley stretching from the base of Teide down to the Atlantic coast.
La Laguna
The UNESCO World Heritage city appears just before landing, showcasing its historic grid layout.
The right side is the definitive choice for seeing Mount Teide. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the volcano from the east. Ensure you choose a seat forward or aft of the wing, as the flight is short and low, making ground visibility crucial.
Santa Cruz de la Palma
Clear views of the island capital and its colorful harbor immediately after departure.
Atlantic Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean and potential whitecaps in the channel between islands.
Anaga Massif
Dramatic, ancient laurel forest-covered peaks visible during the final approach into Tenerife North.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the coastline of La Palma during takeoff. For landing at TFN, the left side often sees the rugged northern cliffs of Tenerife if the aircraft approaches from the northwest over the water.
