Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Belfast International Airport (Belfast)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for landmark viewing, starting with the iconic Mount Teide on departure, followed by glimpses of the European Atlantic coast and a more scenic approach into the Belfast area.
Mount Teide
The best view of Spain's highest peak, the massive volcano that dominates the island of Tenerife, visible immediately after takeoff.
Iberian Coastline
Frequent distant views of the Portuguese and Galician coastlines as the flight path tracks north along the continental shelf.
Brittany Coast
The jagged cliffs and numerous islands of northwestern France are often visible as the plane crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Welsh Mountains
Clear days offer stunning views of the Snowdonia mountain range and the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales.
Belfast Cityscape
On final approach, you can often see the Harland and Wolff yellow cranes and the Belfast Lough shoreline.
The right side is generally the most scenic for this route. Sit away from the wing for the clearest view of Mount Teide during the climb. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, stay alert for views of the Irish Sea and the dramatic transition into the green landscapes of Northern Ireland.
La Palma Island
Aerial views of the rugged volcanic terrain and lush forests of 'La Isla Bonita' shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Horizon
Vast, uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for spotting unique cloud formations and ship trails.
Evening Sunset
On late afternoon departures, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the ocean horizon.
Lough Neagh
As the plane descends into BFS from the south, look for the vast expanse of the UK's largest freshwater lake.
Select a seat on the left if you are on an evening flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun during the first half of the journey and to enjoy the sunset later. Keep your window shade open during the initial 15 minutes to spot the westernmost Canary Islands.
