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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the volcanic landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands, followed by the snow-capped Sierra Nevada and a scenic approach along the Mediterranean coast into Valencia.

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often covered in snow, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding arid terrain.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa Blanca

Glimpses of the famous white beaches and turquoise waters near Alicante as the flight nears its destination.

Jรบcar River Canyons

Deep, winding river gorges carved through the limestone plateaus of eastern Spain.

๐Ÿฅ˜

L'Albufera Lagoon

The massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies just south of Valencia, signaling the final approach.

This side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the descent, look out for the Albufera Natural Park, as the flight path often curves right over the sea before turning back toward the runway.
