TFS โ†’ OVD

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of views, including the neighboring Canary Islands at takeoff, a glimpse of the Andalusian coastline, and the dramatic limestone peaks of the Picos de Europa during the descent into Asturias.

A distant view of the Andalusian capital and the winding path of the Guadalquivir River.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Picos de Europa

Breathtaking limestone massifs and jagged peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains during the final descent phase.

Cantabrian Sea

Views of the rugged 'Costa Verde' and the Bay of Biscay as the plane lines up for its approach into Avilรฉs.

Sit behind the wing on the right for the best photos of the Picos de Europa. For late afternoon flights, the right side captures the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Asturian coastline, making the limestone mountains glow orange and pink.

Left Side Highlights

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Teide

Dramatic views of Spain's highest peak and its volcanic crater shortly after departure from Tenerife South.

๐ŸŒŠ

Atlantic Crossing

A vast perspective of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the flight heads north toward the Iberian Peninsula.

Sierra de Gredos

The Green Coast

The sudden transition to the lush, emerald-green valleys characteristic of the Asturian landscape upon arrival.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight during the northern trek. This side provides the most iconic view of Mount Teide during the climb, provided the flight path loops slightly north before heading to the mainland.
