Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side (starboard) is the premier choice for this route, offering spectacular views of the European Atlantic coastline and the most iconic aerial perspective of Mount Teide during the descent.
Bay of Biscay
Dramatic views of the rugged northern Spanish coastline and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic shelf.
Portuguese Littoral
Excellent perspectives of the Atlantic edge, including the cliffs of Cabo da Roca and the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing the transition of colors during a late afternoon or sunset flight.
Mount Teide
The centerpiece of the journey; Spain's highest peak usually appears on the right side during the descent into Tenerife South.
Canary Island Archipelago
First glimpses of the northern islands like Lanzarote and Gran Canaria as the aircraft approaches the final destination.
The right side is essential for the best view of Mount Teide's volcanic cone. Since the flight is approximately 7 hours, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Portuguese coast. For late afternoon flights, this side offers a spectacular sunset over the ocean.
Moscow Outskirts
Aerial views of the sprawling Russian capital's urban density and surrounding forests immediately after takeoff from SVO.
Polish Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and river networks as the flight crosses through Central European airspace.
Central Pyrenees
If the flight path stays inland, you will see the snow-dusted peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range separating France and Spain.
Andalusia Coastline
Views of the southern Spanish terrain and the glistening waters of the Alboran Sea before heading out over the Atlantic.
On the left side, be prepared for significant sun glare during morning and afternoon flights as you head southwest. This side is better for observing the interior geography of the Iberian Peninsula, but the views can be hazy due to the sun's position.
