SVQ โ†’ TFS

Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Seville city center during takeoff and provides the most dramatic approach views of Mount Teide and the northern coast of Tenerife before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
๐Ÿฐ

Seville Historic Center

Aerial perspective of the Giralda tower and the massive Cathedral shortly after rotating from the runway.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

Algarve Coastline

The golden cliffs and hidden coves of southern Portugal are often visible as the flight path skirts the Iberian coast.

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Teide

Spain's highest peak dominates the window view during the descent, often poking through a sea of clouds.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Views of the island capital and the Anaga rural park mountains if the flight approaches from the northeast.

๐Ÿšค

Los Cristianos Bay

Final views of the bustling tourist harbors and boat wakes just minutes before touching down.

The right side is the clear winner for the 'hero shot' of Mount Teide. To avoid glare when flying from Seville (Southwest heading), morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿฆ†

Doรฑana National Park

Vast wetlands and marshes of one of Europe's most important nature reserves visible shortly after departure from SVQ.

๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of Cรกdiz

A sweeping view of the deep blue Atlantic where the Guadalquivir River meets the ocean.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Gran Canaria Profile

During the descent phase, look out for the rugged silhouette of Gran Canaria appearing on the horizon to the south.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa del Silencio

Clear views of the volcanic southern coastline and turquoise waters as the plane aligns with the runway at TFS.

Choose this side if you are flying during sunset to catch the golden hour over the Atlantic. It is also the best side for spotting the distant silhouettes of the eastern Canary Islands like Fuerteventura on exceptionally clear days.
