Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While the left side offers the best initial view of Mount Teide, the right side provides a more diverse panorama of the Portuguese coastline, the rugged mountains of Northern Spain, and the winding rivers of Central France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Lisbon & Tagus River

Spectacular views of the Portuguese capital, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the wide Tagus estuary.

🍷

Porto & Douro Valley

The terraced hills and the mouth of the Douro River as the flight traverses the Portuguese coast.

🏔️

Cantabrian Mountains

Snow-capped peaks and jagged limestone ridges of the Picos de Europa in Northern Spain.

🏰

Loire Valley Castles

As you cross into France, look for the sprawling estates and historic chateaus along the Loire River.

🏢

Charleroi Industrial Heritage

The unique 'Black Country' landscape of Wallonia with its historical mining sites and canals on final approach.

For the best experience, choose the right side on morning flights to keep the sun at your back, making the colors of the Iberian coast pop. Keep your camera ready as you pass Lisbon, as the city layout is usually clearly visible from cruising altitude.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌋

Mount Teide

Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife during the initial climb.

🏝️

La Palma & La Gomera

Distant glimpses of the western Canary Islands rising from the Atlantic horizon.

🌊

Deep Atlantic Scenery

Expansive views of the ocean where the deep blue meets the horizon, ideal for cloud formation spotting.

🚢

Bay of Biscay

Aerial perspective of the vast shipping lanes connecting Northern Europe to the Americas.

🌥️

Brittany Coast

Occasional views of the rugged French coastline and the Atlantic islands of Ouessant.

The left side is the 'sunset side' for evening flights, offering dramatic sky colors. It is essential for those who want a close-up of Teide's peak immediately after takeoff. However, be aware that glare can be intense on mid-day flights heading north.
