Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides an immediate view of Mount Teide upon departure and follows the European and British coastlines more closely, offering views of Cornwall and the Lake District before the final approach over the Clyde Valley.

Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak is often visible in its full volcanic glory shortly after lifting off from Tenerife South.
Galician Coast
The jagged 'Rias' inlets of Northwest Spain are frequently visible as the plane crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Land's End
The iconic western tip of Cornwall marks your entry into British airspace with dramatic cliffside views.
Lake District
On clear days, the peaks of Cumbria and the Solway Firth are visible during the descent into Scotland.
River Clyde
Follow the path of the historic river as it winds through the industrial heartland and towards Glasgow city center.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. To maximize views of the UK mainland, check the weather; if clear, you will see the entire length of the Irish Sea coast. Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Galician and Cornish coasts.

La Gomera
Shorty after takeoff, look west to see the circular, mountainous island of La Gomera rising from the Atlantic.
Atlantic Expanse
Deep blue oceanic vistas throughout the mid-flight, often featuring dramatic cumulus cloud formations.
Irish Coastline
Distant views of the rugged cliffs and green fields of the eastern coast of Ireland during the final hour.
Isle of Arran
A magnificent view of the 'Scotland in Miniature' island as the aircraft aligns for the approach into Glasgow.
Sit on the left for the best sunset views on late afternoon or evening flights. It is also the side to choose if you want a clear, unobstructed view of the open ocean and the dramatic approach over the Firth of Clyde and the Argyll hills.
