Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of Mount Teide shortly after takeoff, followed by a dramatic perspective of the Atlantic coastline and the rugged cliffs of Brittany.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Mount Teide

Spain's highest peak dominates the landscape immediately after departure from Tenerife South.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and the remote Selvagens Islands.

🏝️

Madeira Archipelago

On clear days, the lush, mountainous profile of Madeira is visible in the distance to the west.

🏰

Brittany Coastline

The jagged, rocky shores of western France appear as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.

🌅

Oceanic Sunset

Evening flights provide a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the open sea.

For the best view of Mount Teide, look out within the first 10-15 minutes of flight. Afternoon departures are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft or to the west, illuminating the European coastline without harsh glare. During winter, look for snow on the Teide peak for a striking contrast against the volcanic rock.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏝️

Canary Archipelago

Views of Gran Canaria and the distant dunes of Fuerteventura during the initial climb.

🇪🇸

Spanish Mainland

Aerial perspectives of the arid plains and mountain ridges of Castile and León.

🍇

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River and the famous chateaux region of central France.

🏙️

Paris Peripheral

On a standard northeasterly track, the distant lights or sprawl of Paris are often visible to the east.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The forested peaks of central Germany signal the final approach into the Berlin region.

Choose the right side if you prefer seeing land-based geography and city lights. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over the Pyrenees, you may catch a glimpse of the snowy mountain range. Night flights on this side are particularly rewarding for spotting the dense urban grids of Western Europe.
