TFS β BSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
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.
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.
The Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and central Alps during the descent into the Rhine Valley.
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.
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.
