TFS β MXP
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views including the eastern Canary Islands, the Pyrenees, and a scenic approach over the Mediterranean coast and the Italian Po Valley.
Gran Canaria
Excellent aerial perspective of the circular volcanic island of Gran Canaria early in the flight.
Central Pyrenees
A long, panoramic view of the highest part of the Pyrenees mountain range.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coast from Montpellier toward Marseille.
CΓ΄te d'Azur
Glimpses of the glamorous French Riviera and the clear blue waters of the Ligurian Sea.
Po Valley
The dense urban and agricultural tapestry of Northern Italy as the plane aligns for Malpensa.
The right side is generally better for Mediterranean coastal views. For flights arriving in the late afternoon, this side provides spectacular 'golden hour' lighting over the Alps and the Italian lakes just before landing at MXP.
Mount Teide
Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.
Portuguese Coast
The rugged Atlantic coastline of Portugal and the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Western Pyrenees
The snow-capped peaks where Spain meets France near the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Valley
Lush green landscapes and winding rivers of central France as you head toward the Alps.
Mont Blanc
On the descent, catch sight of the highest peak in Europe to the northwest of the flight path.
Sit on the left for the most iconic view of Mount Teide during departure. For the best photography of the Alps during descent, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the peaks clearly.
