TFS → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, starting with views of Mount Teide upon departure, followed by the rugged southwestern coastline of England and the spectacular peaks of Snowdonia during the descent.
Mount Teide
Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.
Isles of Scilly
A cluster of turquoise islands appearing as the flight crosses into British airspace from the Atlantic.
Cornish Coastline
Aerial views of Land's End and the jagged cliffs of the St Ives peninsula.
Snowdonia National Park
The high mountains of North Wales, including the summit of Snowdon, visible during the initial descent.
The Wirral
A clear view of the beaches at West Kirby and New Brighton as the plane turns toward the Mersey.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Teide if the wind dictates a northern departure. During the final 45 minutes, stay alert as you cross the English Channel to spot the Scilly Isles. For evening flights, the sunset over the Atlantic will be visible from this side for almost the entire journey.
Portuguese Coast
Distant but often clear views of the Lisbon coastline and the mouth of the Tagus River.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged western tip of France, specifically the area around Brest, visible across the Bay of Biscay.
Severn Estuary
The massive waterway separating South Wales from England, including the Prince of Wales Bridge.
Liverpool City Center
Direct views of the Three Graces, the Anglican Cathedral, and the iconic football stadiums on final approach.
Runcorn Bridges
The Silver Jubilee and Mersey Gateway bridges are prominent landmarks just seconds before touchdown.
Choose the right side if you want the best view of Liverpool's skyline during the final approach to Runway 27. This side is also excellent for spotting the Brittany coast and the lights of Portuguese coastal cities if flying after dark. In the morning, you will avoid the direct glare of the sun which typically hits the left side on this northbound route.
