TFS → BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the remaining Canary Islands after takeoff, the dramatic Portuguese coastline, and the transition from the Atlantic into the heart of Western Europe.
Gran Canaria
A clear view of the circular volcanic island of Gran Canaria shortly after the flight reaches cruising altitude.
Fuerteventura & Lanzarote
The arid, golden-hued landscapes of the easternmost Canary Islands are often visible in the distance to the east.
Lisbon & Tagus Estuary
Stunning views of the Portuguese capital, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the wide mouth of the Tagus River.
Picos de Europa
Distant, often snow-capped peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains visible as the flight skirts the northern coast of Spain.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its surrounding lush greenery and chateaux as the flight traverses central France.
Brussels Atomium
On specific approach patterns into BRU, keep an eye out for the iconic silver spheres of the Atomium.
Choose the right side for the best island-hopping views during the first 30 minutes of the flight. For morning departures, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be needed; however, the coastal detail of Portugal and France is far more visible from this side.
Mount Teide
Breathtaking views of Spain's highest peak and its volcanic crater shortly after departure from Tenerife South.
Atlantic Ocean Expanse
Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight heads north-northeast toward the European mainland.
La Palma & La Gomera
Distant views of the western Canary Islands visible on the horizon during the initial climb phase.
Brittany Coast
The rugged and indented coastline of western France as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Ghent Panorama
During the final descent, clear views of the historic towers and urban layout of the Belgian city of Ghent.
Sit on the left for the most direct view of Mount Teide upon departure if the plane takes off towards the east and turns north. In the late afternoon, this side is ideal as it faces away from the direct sun, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
