Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for its iconic views of Mount Teide during departure and the spectacular coastal scenery of Cornwall and the Bristol Channel upon arrival in the UK.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak often sits above the cloud layer shortly after takeoff from Tenerife South.
Costa Vicentina
The rugged, windswept western coastline of Portugal's Algarve region visible as you track north.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged cliffs and islands of northwestern France as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Land's End
The first sight of the UK mainland, featuring the dramatic granite cliffs of the Cornish peninsula.
Bristol Channel
A great perspective of the Severn Estuary and the Welsh coastline across the water during descent.
Book a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views. On clear morning flights, the lighting is perfect for photographing the transition from the Atlantic to the green fields of Cornwall. This side also catches the sunset on evening northbound flights.
Gran Canaria
Distant views of the neighboring Canary Island appearing to the east shortly after departure.
Lisbon & Tagus River
The sprawl of the Portuguese capital and the mouth of the Tagus River can be seen on clear days.
Picos de Europa
Distant, often snow-capped mountains of Northern Spain visible across the Bay of Biscay.
Dartmoor National Park
The rolling hills and wild granite tors of Devon as you cross into Southwest England.
Mendip Hills
The limestone ridges and Cheddar Gorge area visible just minutes before touchdown at Bristol.
Choose the right side if you prefer views of the European mainland and the city lights of Lisbon during evening flights. If the wind requires a landing from the east (Runway 27), this side offers a panoramic view of the city of Bristol and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
