Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Graz Airport (Graz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the majestic Mount Teide during departure and follows the most dramatic peaks of both the Pyrenees and the Swiss-Austrian Alps.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the horizon immediately after takeoff from Tenerife South.
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped massif dividing the Iberian Peninsula from France.
Massif Central
The lush, ancient volcanic landscape of south-central France features unique rounded peaks.
High Alps
A spectacular traverse over the glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps near the Hohe Tauern.
Styrian Forests
The dense 'Green Heart of Austria' landscape unfolds during the final descent into Graz.
Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Teide during the initial climb. Flights departing in the morning will have the sun behind the plane on this side, providing perfect lighting for photography over the Alps. Keep an eye out about 3 hours into the flight for the sharp transition from the French plains to the mountain peaks.
Gran Canaria
Clear views of the neighboring island across the Atlantic during the initial climb phase.
Mediterranean Coast
The glittering shores of the Costa Brava and the Gulf of Lion are visible in the distance.
The Dolomites
Jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible to the south as you enter Austrian airspace.
Graz City Center
If the flight approaches from the south, the right side offers views of the Schlossberg and the Mur river.
Southern Vineyards
Aerial views of the rolling vineyard hills characteristic of the South Styrian wine region.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. During the descent, this side often offers a better view of Graz's urban layout and the iconic clock tower if the aircraft performs a standard approach from the south. Watch for the contrast between the turquoise Mediterranean waters and the rugged coastline of northeast Spain.
