TFS → ERF
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Erfurt Airport (Erfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior primarily for the spectacular close-up views of Mount Teide and the Canary archipelago during departure, followed by great vistas of the Spanish plateau and Thuringian landscapes.
Search flights from TFS to ERF
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak and its massive volcanic crater are often visible immediately after takeoff from TFS.
Gran Canaria
Clear views of the neighboring island's mountainous terrain during the initial climb.
Pyrenees Range
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped border between Spain and France.
Thuringian Forest
Lush green rolling hills and the Rennsteig ridge during the descent into Erfurt.
Wartburg Castle
Possible distant view of the historic Eisenach fortress depending on the approach pattern.
The right side is a must for volcano enthusiasts; the view of Teide's peak piercing the clouds is world-class. Ensure your window is clean for departure. In winter, the contrast between the sunny Canaries and the snowy Thuringian mountains is striking.

Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the North Atlantic Ocean shortly after departing the Canary Islands.
Portuguese Coastline
Visuals of the rugged Atlantic cliffs and the Tagus river estuary near Lisbon.
Loire Valley
The green mosaics of the French countryside and winding river systems.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant views of Germany's financial hub high-rises if the route tracks west of the city.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sun while over the Atlantic. It offers the best perspective for the transition from sea to the European mainland near the Iberian Peninsula.
