Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic landscape of Tenerife on departure and the stunning Atlantic coastline of Portugal and France during the journey.
Mount Teide
Breathtaking views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife during the initial climb.
Portuguese Coastline
Dramatic cliffs and white sandy beaches stretching from the Algarve up to the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, rocky western tip of France jutting into the Atlantic as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
English Channel
Aerial perspective of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from French to Dutch airspace.
Dutch Coastline
Scenic views of the North Sea beaches and the intricate delta works of the Netherlands during descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left side, so keep your window shade ready, but the sunset over the Atlantic is spectacular.
Gran Canaria
Clear views of the neighboring island and its mountainous interior shortly after takeoff from Tenerife South.
Spanish Interior
The vast, arid plains of Extremadura and Castile-Leon, featuring unique geometric agricultural patterns.
Western Pyrenees
If the flight path trends slightly east, you can spot the snow-capped western peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The patchwork of world-famous vineyards in the Gironde region as the plane enters French territory.
Dutch Polders
The iconic reclaimed land, straight canals, and windmills characteristic of the North Holland landscape.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Look out early for views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote in the distance if visibility is high.
