Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of the Canary archipelago at departure and a panoramic tour of the European mainland's western coast and inland treasures.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏖️

Gran Canaria

Distant silhouettes of the neighboring volcanic island to the east during the initial climb.

🌉

Tagus Estuary

Stunning views of the Portuguese coastline and the metropolitan sprawl of Lisbon and its bridges.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The jagged limestone peaks of northern Spain are visible as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' reveals its intricate river patterns and agricultural patchworks from high altitude.

🏙️

Brussels Skyline

Dense urban areas and landmarks of the Benelux region as you approach the German border.

🚢

Rhine River

The iconic German waterway and industrial heartland become visible as you descend toward Weeze.

Ideal for sunset flights as the sun will set on the opposite side, bathing the European coast in golden light. Look out for the Portuguese shoreline roughly 90 minutes after takeoff; on clear days, the Lisbon bridges are easily identifiable.

Left Side Highlights

🌋

Mount Teide

The towering volcanic summit dominates the skyline immediately after departure from Tenerife South.

🏝️

Western Canaries

Bird's-eye views of La Palma and La Gomera if the flight path tracks slightly west over the ocean.

🌊

Atlantic Deep

Vast oceanic vistas that are particularly striking during the golden hour on evening flights.

⚓

Brittany Coast

The rugged cliffs and lighthouses of the westernmost tip of France as you enter the mainland airspace.

🛶

Meuse River

Meandering waterways near the Dutch-German border visible during the final descent phase.

For the best view of Mount Teide, secure a window on the left. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, offering clearer visibility for photography of the French coast later in the trip.
