Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most diverse scenery, starting with the iconic Mount Teide in Tenerife, followed by the coastlines of Portugal and Northern Spain, and concluding with the Welsh mountains and the Lake District on descent.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak, the Teide volcano, dominates the view immediately after departure from Tenerife South.
Iberian Coast
Distant but clear views of the Portuguese coastline, including Lisbon and the Cabo da Roca.
Bay of Biscay
The transition from the deep Atlantic to the continental shelf, often marked by dramatic cloud formations.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged peaks and valleys of North Wales are often visible during the cruise north toward Lancashire.
Blackpool Tower
The iconic 158-meter landmark is frequently visible during the final approach into BLK airport.
The Lake District
On clear days, the southern fells of Cumbria and the shimmering waters of Windermere appear to the north.
The right side is essential for the best view of Mount Teide during departure. Sit away from the wing for the clearest view of the European coastline. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the right side offers a superior view of the Welsh coast and the Blackpool skyline. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Portuguese and Spanish coasts.
Volcanic Vistas
Spectacular views of La Palma and its rugged volcanic craters shortly after takeoff.
Deep Atlantic
Endless views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean with occasional sightings of large cargo vessels.
Irish Coastline
The lush green cliffs and rolling hills of the southeastern Irish coast visible across the sea.
Isle of Man
The silhouette of Snaefell and the mountainous terrain of the Isle of Man visible during the northern approach.
Oceanic Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun setting over the Atlantic horizon.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the smaller Canary Islands like La Palma. As you approach the UK, this side offers better views of the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man if the aircraft vectors west before landing at Blackpool.
