Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife) to Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic views including the majestic Mount Teide immediately after takeoff and a stunning perspective of the Venezuelan coastal mountains during the final approach.
Mount Teide
The highest peak in Spain provides a monumental backdrop immediately as the aircraft climbs away from Tenerife.
Southern Canaries
Clear views of La Gomera's circular profile and the remote, volcanic terrain of El Hierro as you head west.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon departures, this side provides front-row seats to the sun setting over the open ocean.
Cordillera de la Costa
The dramatic mountain range that separates the Caribbean Sea from the city of Caracas appears during descent.
Coastal Settlements
Views of the dense urban areas of Catia La Mar and the outskirts of the capital region just before touchdown.
Sit toward the rear of the cabin to prevent the wing from blocking the view of Mount Teide. For evening flights, expect intense sunlight; keep your window shade partially closed until the sun nears the horizon for the best photography conditions.
Anaga Massif
The ancient, laurel-forest-covered mountains of northern Tenerife are visible during the initial bank after takeoff.
La Palma
Depending on the flight corridor, you may see the 'Isla Bonita' and its massive central volcanic crater to the north.
Sargasso Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic where the currents occasionally create visible patterns on the water surface.
Los Roques
The stunning turquoise waters and white sand cays of this Venezuelan archipelago are often visible 20 minutes before landing.
La Guaira Port
One of Venezuela's busiest ports, featuring cargo ships and tankers anchored in the sparkling Caribbean waters.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep a sharp eye out during the last 45 minutes of the flight for the vibrant turquoise colors of the Caribbean coral islands.
