TFN → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Atlantic and Tenerife's volcanic landscape, the right side is generally superior for capturing the rugged northern Spanish coastline and provides a higher probability of seeing the Paris skyline during the approach into Orly.

Anaga Rural Park
Breathtaking views of Tenerife's ancient, jagged laurel forests immediately after takeoff.
Cantabrian Coast
Spectacular views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of Northern Spain and the Basque Country.
La Rochelle & Île de Ré
The distinctive white bridge connecting the mainland to the island and the historic harbor of La Rochelle.
Paris Landmarks
On many approach patterns to ORY, the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower are visible in the distance.
The right side offers the most diverse scenery. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the French coastline. If the wind is from the west, the approach into Orly often tracks north before turning, giving the right side a panoramic view of the Paris city center.

Mount Teide
Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds shortly after departure from TFN.
Bay of Biscay
A vast crossing of the deep blue Atlantic where you might spot large cargo ships or whitecaps.
Loire Valley
As the plane enters French airspace, look for the winding Loire River and its surrounding vineyards.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive green expanse south of Paris visible during the final stages of the descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during a northbound flight, avoiding direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the dramatic volcanic crater of Teide if the flight path curves west after takeoff. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the distance over the Pyrenees if the route passes slightly inland.
