Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, including early views of the eastern Canary Islands, the Spanish interior, and a scenic approach over the Weser river valley near Bremen.
Gran Canaria
Excellent views of the neighboring island's mountainous interior shortly after departure.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain offers unique geometric agricultural patterns and arid landscapes.
The Pyrenees
Depending on the specific airway, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the horizon.
Parisian Basin
Clear views of the French countryside and occasionally the distant urban sprawl of Paris.
Weser River
A beautiful winding view of the river that defines the landscape of the Bremen region during descent.
The right side is best for afternoon flights as it avoids the harsh southern sun over the Atlantic. Watch for Gran Canaria about 10-15 minutes after takeoff. During winter, this side provides the best chance to see snow on the Pyrenees or Massif Central in the distance.
Mount Teide
Immediate views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife during initial climb.
Portuguese Coastline
Detailed views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Alentejo and Lisbon regions.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the Atlantic transition into the jagged coastline of Brittany, France.
English Channel
Look for heavy maritime traffic and the distant silhouette of the Channel Islands.
Rotterdam Port
In clear weather, the massive industrial complex and windmills of the Dutch coast are visible.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the dramatic transition from the deep Atlantic blue to the European continental shelf. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best angle of Teide.
