TFSVGO

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its immediate view of Mount Teide upon departure and the varied scenery of the Portuguese and Galician coastlines during the cruise and descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Teide

Stunning aerial perspective of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic caldera of Tenerife shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Porto & Douro

Views of the mouth of the Douro River and the cityscape of Porto as you cross into northern Portugal.

⛰️

Galician Highlands

The lush, green, mountainous terrain of the Rías Baixas region during the final approach.

🏙️

Vigo Cityscape

Excellent views of the city of Vigo and its major port facilities just before touchdown.

Seats behind the wing (rows 20+) offer the best unobstructed views of Teide. Early morning flights provide beautiful light on the Galician mountains, while mid-day offers the best clarity for coastal features. Watch for the city of Porto approximately 20 minutes before landing.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean during the main cruise segment of the flight.

🏝️

Cíes Islands

The 'Galician Caribbean' islands visible at the mouth of the Ría de Vigo during descent.

🚢

Maritime Activity

Cargo ships and fishing vessels dotting the entrance to the Vigo estuary.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the ocean during late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the small Farilhões and Berlengas islands off the Portuguese coast roughly 30 minutes before arrival.
