TFS → HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of Mount Teide immediately after takeoff and follows the dramatic Atlantic coastlines of Portugal and France before a scenic approach over the Moselle Valley.
Mount Teide
Shortly after departure from TFS, the left side offers the most direct view of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife.
Portuguese Silver Coast
As the flight tracks north, you can see the rugged Atlantic cliffs and the famous surfing beaches near Nazaré and Peniche.
Bay of Biscay
A wide crossing over the deep blue waters of the Atlantic, often showing large cargo ships and the northern coast of Spain in the distance.
Brittany Coastline
Upon reaching France, the jagged granite coastline and numerous islands of the Brittany region are frequently visible under clear skies.
Moselle River Loops
During the descent into Hahn, look for the tight, vineyard-lined meanders of the Moselle River, a highlight of the Hunsrück region.
For morning departures, the left side avoids the harshest direct sunlight as the plane heads northeast. In the winter, the snow-capped Teide is a must-see. Seat A is the prime spot for these views. Keep your camera ready in the final 15 minutes for the dramatic river valleys near the airport.
Gran Canaria View
On the climb out, you can often see the neighboring island of Gran Canaria across the Atlantic channel.
Picos de Europa
If the flight path crosses northern Spain, the jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains appear to the right.
Loire Valley
The right side offers a high-altitude perspective of France's 'Garden of France,' known for its river systems and historic châteaux.
Hunsrück Forest
The final approach provides a close-up look at the dense forests and rolling hills of the Rhineland-Palatinate countryside.
The right side (Seat F) is better for evening flights to catch the soft 'golden hour' light reflecting off the European landscape. It provides the best view of the interior Iberian Peninsula. Watch for the change from arid Spanish plains to the lush green fields of central France.
