Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior scenic experience, featuring a majestic departure view of Mount Teide, a direct line of sight to the heart of the Pyrenees, and the breathtaking approach into Geneva past Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Tenerife visible immediately after takeoff.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, golden landscapes of central Spain as the flight crosses the Meseta.
The Pyrenees
High-altitude views of the snow-capped border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic domes and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Mont Blanc
Spectacular views of the highest peak in the Alps during the descent into Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau fountain visible on final approach.
The right side is essential for the 'Alps approach.' For the best views of Mont Blanc, ensure you are flying during daylight hours. Early morning flights provide beautiful shadows over the Pyrenees. If landing on Runway 22, you will see the famous Jet d'Eau fountain just before touchdown.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the initial climb from the Canary Islands.
Gran Canaria
A distant perspective of the circular volcanic island of Gran Canaria shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Cรกdiz
The southwestern coastline of Spain where the Atlantic meets the Iberian Peninsula.
Lyon Metropole
The dense urban landscape and the confluence of the Rhรดne and Saรดne rivers in eastern France.
Jura Mountains
The distinctive limestone ridges and folded forests of the Jura range during the final descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach into Geneva, this side provides better views of the Jura mountains and the northern suburbs of the city depending on the wind direction.
