TFS → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the iconic Teide volcano during takeoff and a more direct view of the dramatic Northern Alpine ranges before descending into Vienna.
Mount Teide
The highest peak in Spain and a stunning volcanic landmark visible shortly after takeoff.
Central Madrid
The dense urban sprawl of the Spanish capital as the flight crosses the center of the peninsula.
Pyrenees Mountains
The snow-capped natural border between Spain and France with rugged limestone peaks.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake on the Swiss-French border.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the Hohe Tauern and Northern Limestone Alps during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. Watch for Mount Teide immediately after takeoff from TFS. As you cross into France, the Pyrenees offer sharp contrasts, followed by the high Swiss and Austrian Alps roughly 45 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly spectacular.
Gran Canaria
Views of the mountainous neighbor island across the Atlantic blue shortly after departure.
Spanish Levant
The famous white beaches and coastal lagoons of the Alicante and Valencia regions.
Barcelona Coastline
A clear view of the iconic Eixample district grid and the bustling Mediterranean port.
Cote d'Azur
The glamorous coastline of Southern France and the Italian Riviera appearing to the south.
Lake Neusiedl
The large, shallow steppe lake located on the border with Hungary during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Mediterranean coastline and the Balearic Islands in the far distance. During the final approach to VIE, you may see the Danube River winding through the landscape. Use a window blind if flying in the afternoon to block intense direct sunlight from the south.
