Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the volcanic peaks of the Canaries, the majestic Pyrenees, and the lush Black Forest during the descent.
Mount Teide
Immediate views of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater of Tenerife after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
A stunning crossing of the high-altitude mountain range separating Spain and France.
Madrid and Central Spain
Broad views of the arid Spanish Meseta and the sprawling Madrid metropolitan area.
Black Forest
Deep green views of the Schwarzwald during the approach into Southwest Germany.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone plateau and rolling hills just south of Stuttgart Airport.
This is the 'scenic side'. Keep your window shade up during the first 20 minutes for Teide and the middle of the flight for the Pyrenees. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun is behind or above the plane.
Atlantic Vastness
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the initial climb and transit north.
Madeira Archipelago
Possibility of spotting the rugged cliffs of Madeira in the distance depending on the airway used.
Bay of Biscay
Crossing the coastline of western France where the ocean meets the mainland.
Western French Cities
Aerial views of the urban layouts of western French regions like Poitou-Charentes.
Choose this side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. It is also generally quieter for glare, making it easier to see the horizon clearly during the day.
