Search flights from TFS to SZG
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak and a massive volcanic crater dominating the Tenerife landscape shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Seaboard
Breathtaking views of the deep blue ocean transitioning into the rugged western coastlines of Portugal and Spain.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Bernese Alps
Stunning high-altitude panoramas of Switzerland's most famous glaciers and peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Hohensalzburg Fortress
A majestic view of Salzburg's medieval hilltop castle during the final turn for landing at SZG.
Sit on the left for the iconic departure view of the volcano. On morning flights, this side is shielded from the direct southern sun, providing better conditions for photography of the Alps and Pyrenees. During the winter months, the contrast of snow against the dark rock of the mountains is particularly striking from this side.

Canary Archipelago
A broad perspective of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura appearing as emerald dots in the Atlantic early in the flight.
Mediterranean Coast
Vistas of the Spanish 'Costas' and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft tracks northeast.
Italian Lakes
Glimpses of Lake Maggiore or Lake Como tucked into the southern foothills of the Alps.
The Dolomites
The unique, jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps visible in the distance during the descent.
Untersberg Massif
The massive, sheer-faced mountain that stands guard over the city of Salzburg during the final approach.
The right side is best if you enjoy coastal scenery and distant views of the Mediterranean. On the final descent into Salzburg, if the plane lands from the north, this side offers an incredible close-up of the Untersberg mountain. Be aware that midday flights may experience significant sun glare on this side of the aircraft.
