TFN → FUE
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife) to Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Mount Teide and the volcanic interior of Gran Canaria, making it the preferred choice for enthusiasts of dramatic island topography.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the horizon immediately after departure, offering breathtaking volcanic views.
Gran Canaria Massif
Clear views of the central mountains of Gran Canaria, including the famous Roque Nublo monolith.
Maspalomas Dunes
The golden sand dunes at the southern tip of Gran Canaria visible as the flight cruises eastward.
Fuerteventura Interior
The unique 'Mars-like' red and brown landscape of central Fuerteventura during the landing sequence.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. On typical takeoff paths from runway 30, the plane turns right, providing a panoramic sweep of the island's spine. During winter months, the snow-capped peak of Teide is a major highlight. For the best lighting, afternoon flights provide excellent sun positioning for photos of the islands to the south.
Anaga Rural Park
Lush green peaks and ancient laurel forests visible shortly after takeoff from Tenerife Norte.
Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating the western and eastern Canary Islands.
Corralejo Dunes
The stunning white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura appearing during the final descent.
Isla de Lobos
A pristine volcanic islet located in the strait between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy the turquoise waters around the northern tip of Fuerteventura. Look for the white sands of Corralejo as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into FUE.
