Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the neighboring Canary Islands, moving to the Mediterranean coastline, and culminating in a spectacular descent over the Swiss Alps and Lake Constance.
Gran Canaria
Excellent aerial perspective of the circular volcanic island and the city of Las Palmas.
Spanish Coastline
Views of the Mediterranean coast, including the vibrant turquoise waters near Valencia and Barcelona.
Swiss and Austrian Alps
Breathtaking panorama of major Alpine peaks during the descent phase of the flight.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible just before landing.
AllgΓ€u Foothills
Lush Bavarian meadows, traditional farmsteads, and the scenic foothills of the German Alps.
The right side is unbeatable for the final 30 minutes of the flight. As the plane descends into Memmingen, the proximity to the Alps and the crossing of Lake Constance provide world-class views. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Alpine peaks on this side.
Mount Teide
Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plateau of central Spain, featuring golden fields and ancient villages.
Pyrenees Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped border between Spain and France with sharp ridgelines.
French Countryside
Structured vineyard patterns and rolling hills through the heart of western France.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies visible as the flight enters Southern Germany.
Sit on the left for the best view of Mount Teide during the initial climb. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography of the Spanish interior and the Pyrenees without sun glare.
