TFS β LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most consistent variety, starting with potential views of the smaller western Canary Islands, the rugged Galician coastline of Spain, and the dramatic western tip of Brittany before the English Channel crossing.
La Gomera and La Palma
Clear views of the neighboring volcanic islands shortly after takeoff if departing toward the west or north.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and passing maritime traffic throughout the mid-portion of the flight.
Galician Rias
The 'fjord-like' estuaries and jagged coastline of Northwest Spain near A CoruΓ±a.
Brest and Brittany
The westernmost point of France, featuring rugged cliffs and the historic port city of Brest.
London Eye and Skyline
Depending on the arrival pattern (STAR), you may catch the iconic London skyline to the east during the descent into Luton.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out approximately 15 minutes after takeoff for views of the smaller Canary Islands. This side is also superior for spotting the French coastline of Brittany.
Mount Teide
A spectacular view of Spain's highest peak as you climb away from Tenerife South.
Gran Canaria
Distant views of the neighboring island's central mountains shortly after takeoff.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant views of the Lisbon area and the Estoril coast as the flight tracks north.
Bay of Biscay
A vast crossing known for its deep waters and significant shipping lanes connecting Europe.
The Chilterns
The rolling green hills and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounding Luton airport on final approach.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy golden hour lighting and potentially a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic. If departing to the North, the view of the Teide volcano is most prominent from this side.
