TFS → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic Mount Teide on departure and follows the rugged western coastlines of France and the United Kingdom.
Mount Teide
Breathtaking views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Tenerife shortly after departure from TFS.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant but clear views of the Atlantic cliffs near Cabo de São Vicente as the flight tracks north.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, jagged western tip of France, including the city of Brest and the Point du Raz.
Cornish Coast
Spectacular views of the turquoise bays and cliffs of Cornwall as the aircraft enters British airspace.
Snowdonia National Park
The dramatic peaks of North Wales are often visible to the west during the climb over the Irish Sea or Welsh border.
The Lake District
Glacial lakes and rugged fell mountains of Cumbria visible during the initial stages of the descent.
Book a window seat on the left for a morning departure to avoid direct sun glare and capture the best photos of Mount Teide in the first 10 minutes of flight. In winter, look for the snow cap on the volcano. This side also provides better views of the sunset on late afternoon arrivals into Newcastle.
Gran Canaria
The neighboring Canary Island is often visible across the water during the initial steep ascent.
English Channel
A view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with the Isle of Wight often visible to the north.
The Midlands
A panoramic view of England's industrial heartland, including the sprawling urban areas of Birmingham.
Yorkshire Dales
Stunning green valleys and limestone pavements of Northern England as the flight nears its destination.
Durham Cathedral
The iconic UNESCO World Heritage site is frequently visible on the right side during the final approach to NCL.
Teesside and Wearside
Views of the industrial landscape around Middlesbrough and the coastal city of Sunderland just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm glow over the UK mainland. During the final approach, keep your eyes peeled for the Angel of the North; it is most frequently visible from the right when the aircraft is landing from the south on Runway 25.
