Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Tenerife coastline and Mount Teide shortly after takeoff, followed by exceptional views of the Portuguese coast, the Bay of Biscay, and the historic landscapes of Western France.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Mount Teide

Spectacular views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic craters of Tenerife during initial ascent.

🌊

Portuguese Riviera

Dramatic views of the Atlantic coastline, including the cliffs of Cabo da Roca and the mouth of the Tagus River.

🌉

Lisbon & Porto

Aerial perspectives of Portugal's major cities and their iconic bridges as you fly north.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards as the flight crosses the French Atlantic coast.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the 'Garden of France' with its winding rivers and historical châteaux.

🥨

Frankfurt Skyline

Often visible in the distance during the descent phase towards Northern Bavaria.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking east. This side is superior for seeing the coastline of the Iberian Peninsula. During the first 15 minutes, keep your camera ready for the Teide volcano; its peak often pokes through the cloud layer. Choose a seat ahead of the wing (rows 1-10) for unobstructed views of the French river systems.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Canary Archipelago

Bird's-eye views of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura stretching out to the east after departure.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain with its unique agricultural textures.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Rugged limestone peaks visible as the flight path transitions from Spain toward the Bay of Biscay.

🌋

Massif Central

Ancient volcanic peaks and deep gorges in central France, often visible in clear weather.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the aircraft enters German airspace.

⛪

Ulm Minster

Depending on the approach path to NUE, you may see the world's tallest church spire to the south.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic as you head northeast. It provides better views of the interior mountain ranges of Spain and France. When approaching Nuremberg, the right side often gets a better view of the Franconian Lake District (Fränkisches Seenland) and the rolling hills of the Swabian Jura.
