TFS → KBP
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Boryspil International Airport (Kiev)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled view of Mount Teide immediately after departure, followed by stunning vistas of the Alps and the winding Dnieper River upon arrival.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the view right after takeoff, offering a rare perspective of the volcanic crater.
Strait of Gibraltar
Distant views of the narrow passage where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Spanish Levante
The sparkling blue waters and white beaches of the Spanish Mediterranean coast near Valencia.
Central Alps
Spectacular close-up views of the high Alpine peaks and the turquoise lakes of Southern Germany or Austria.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense, dark forests and rolling hills of Western Ukraine as the aircraft begins its descent.
Dnieper River
The massive, winding artery of Ukraine, punctuated by islands and sandbars, leading directly toward KBP.
The right side is superior for the departure from Tenerife; ensure you have your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for Teide. During the mid-flight cruise, the sun will be behind you for much of the journey, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Ukrainian landscape.
Gran Canaria
Aerial view of the neighboring Canary Island shortly after takeoff across the Atlantic waters.
Pyrenees Mountains
The snow-capped border between Spain and France visible as the flight crosses into mainland Europe.
French Countryside
Expansive views of the lush green landscapes and geometric patterns of central French farmland.
Northern Alps
Jagged peaks and glacial valleys of the Swiss and Austrian Alps visible on the horizon.
Kiev Skyline
During the final approach, the left side often captures the golden domes and high-rises of downtown Kiev.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep a lookout during the final 20 minutes of flight; if the wind is from the north, you will get a panoramic view of the Pechersk Lavra and the Motherland Monument.
