Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the best views of the other Canary Islands during departure, followed by the scenic coastline of mainland Portugal and the picturesque islands of the French Atlantic coast upon approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Gran Canaria

A clear view of the volcanic topography of the neighboring island shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Fuerteventura & Lanzarote

The arid, lunar-like landscapes of the easternmost Canaries are often visible on the horizon.

🏖️

Alentejo Coastline

The rugged, cliff-lined coast of southern and central Portugal during the mid-flight phase.

🏙️

Lisbon & Tagus Estuary

A distant but distinct view of the Portuguese capital and the massive mouth of the Tagus River.

🌉

Île de Noirmoutier

The famous island and its bridge are often clearly visible as you cross into French airspace.

🚤

Loire Estuary

The winding mouth of the Loire River as it meets the sea just before landing in Nantes.

The right side is generally more scenic for land-spotting. For morning flights, you will have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Portuguese coast. Keep a close eye out approximately 30 minutes before landing to see the beautiful islands of the Bay of Biscay, including Noirmoutier and Île d'Yeu.

Left Side Highlights

🌋

Mount Teide

Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak as you climb out from Tenerife South.

🌊

Atlantic Ocean

Endless views of the deep blue Atlantic and occasional sightings of the remote Selvagens Islands.

🏖️

Vendée Coastline

The sandy beaches of the 'Côte de Lumière' become visible as the plane banks for its final approach.

🌅

Atlantic Sunset

On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the open ocean.

Sit on the left for the best views of Teide during the first 10 minutes of flight. For evening departures, this side gets direct sunlight which may cause glare; however, it is the best spot for sunset photography. During descent, look for the long sandy stretches of the French Atlantic beaches.
