Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, beginning with an iconic view of Mount Teide upon departure, followed by the crossing of the Pyrenees and a high probability of viewing central Paris during the descent into CDG.

Mount Teide
Spectacular views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.
Moroccan Coastline
Distant views of the African continent and the Atlas Mountains visible across the water on clear days.
The Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
The rugged highlands and extinct volcanoes of south-central France provide a textured landscape below.
Paris Cityscape
Depending on the runway configuration, you may see the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing the 'Iron Lady' when landing at CDG from the south. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for Teide. Midday flights offer the best lighting for the Pyrenees, avoiding the long shadows that can obscure mountain detail.

Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as you track north along the coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue waters and coastal patterns visible as the flight transitions from Spanish to French airspace.
Loire Valley
Green, lush landscapes of central France dotted with historic châteaux and winding river tributaries.
The left side is susceptible to harsh glare from the sun during afternoon flights. While offering peaceful ocean vistas, it misses the major mountain ranges. Watch for the Brittany coastline if the pilot takes a more westerly approach due to weather.
