Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views departing the Canaries, the Right Side is superior due to the spectacular panoramic views of the Swiss and French Alps during the descent into the Basel area.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Gran Canaria

Excellent views of the neighboring island of Gran Canaria during the initial climb out of the Canary Islands.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, often passing near the urban sprawl of Madrid.

πŸ”οΈ

The Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and central Alps during the descent into the Rhine Valley.

πŸ₯¨

The Rhine River

The silver ribbon of the Rhine marking the border between France, Germany, and Switzerland as you approach BSL.

🌲

Black Forest

The dark, rolling hills of Germany's Schwarzwald appearing just east of the airport during landing.

The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival. As the plane descends into Basel, the Alps dominate the horizon to the south and east. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountains isn't obstructed during the banking turns.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
πŸŒ‹

Mount Teide

Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife shortly after takeoff from TFS.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Stunning views of the Portuguese coast, including the Tagus River estuary and Lisbon, if the flight path follows the western corridor.

⛰️

Western Pyrenees

The rugged transition from Spain into France, featuring deep green valleys and jagged limestone peaks.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic chΓ’teaux scattered throughout the French countryside.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

Dense forests and rounded peaks of eastern France visible during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left for the best departure views of Tenerife's volcanic landscape. This side is also preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun as you travel northeast.
