Search flights from TFN to SPC
Mount Teide
Dominating the skyline of Tenerife, the highest peak in Spain is visible shortly after takeoff.
Orotava Valley
Lush green landscapes stretching from the base of the mountains down to the Atlantic coast.
Atlantic Horizon
Deep blue ocean views with the silhouettes of La Gomera and El Hierro visible on clear days.
Tajogaite Volcano
The most recent lava flows from the 2021 eruption on La Palma are clearly visible on the island's southern ridge.
Fuencaliente Salt Pans
Bright white and pink salt pans located at the very southern tip of La Palma near the lighthouses.
Choose the left side for the best chance to see Mount Teide. On the approach to La Palma, this side typically faces the island's recent volcanic activity. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the western slopes. Keep your camera ready as this is a very short 30-minute flight.

Anaga Rural Park
Rugged mountain ridges and ancient laurel forests visible during the initial ascent from Tenerife Norte.
North Tenerife Coast
Dramatic sea cliffs and secluded beaches along the northern coastline of Tenerife.
Santa Cruz de La Palma
A beautiful view of the island's capital city and its port during the final descent.
Caldera de Taburiente
The massive erosion crater that forms the heart of La Palma is often visible over the northern ridges.
Sea of Clouds
The common trade wind clouds often gather against the northern slopes, creating a white blanket below the aircraft.
The right side is ideal for capturing the dense 'Sea of Clouds' often found in the north. It provides a more direct view of the capital, Santa Cruz de La Palma, during the standard landing approach. If the flight circles from the north, this side offers the best views of the lush, green northern coast.
