Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior panoramic view of the Canary archipelago shortly after takeoff and offers better perspectives of the European interior, including the Spanish Meseta and the approach over the Saxon landscape.
Eastern Canaries
Stunning aerial views of Gran Canaria and the volcanic, moon-like landscapes of Lanzarote.
Meseta Central
The vast, golden-brown high plateau of central Spain creates a stark visual contrast with the blue Atlantic.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic peaks and deep valleys in south-central France are often visible on clear days.
Leipzig New Lakeland
The transformed industrial landscape south of the city, featuring numerous large artificial lakes like Cospudener See.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to minimize glare. It offers a unique island-hopping visual of Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. During the final descent into Leipzig, watch for the industrial landmarks of the Leuna area and the Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument if approaching from the south.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak dominates the horizon during the initial climb out of Tenerife South airport.
Portuguese Coastline
Views of the rugged Atlantic edge, including the Tagus River estuary and the cliffs of the Silver Coast.
Loire Valley
The Garden of France with its winding rivers and historic royal chateaux visible from high altitude.
Thuringian Forest
Lush green mountain range in central Germany as the flight begins its final descent phase.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to enjoy a sunset over the Atlantic. If the flight departs to the North, the view of Mount Teide is breathtaking. Keep an eye out for the rugged Galician coastline as you transition from the ocean to the continent.
