Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak and the world's third-tallest volcanic structure visible immediately after takeoff.

Sit on the left for the best morning light during departure from TFS; the sun will be behind the plane or to the right. Watch for Teide in the first 10 minutes of flight. As you approach Moscow, the left side often sees the sunset during evening flights.
