Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior viewing experience for land-based landmarks, featuring the dramatic Sierra Nevada, the sprawling Madrid metropolis, the high Pyrenees, and the dense forests of the Franco-German border region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Gran Canaria

Look east shortly after takeoff to see the neighboring volcanic island rising from the Atlantic.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

The snow-capped peaks of Andalusia, including Mulhacén, provide a stark contrast to the surrounding terrain.

🏙️

Madrid

A sprawling aerial view of the Spanish capital's urban density and the surrounding Guadarrama mountains.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A breathtaking crossing of the jagged, snow-dusted mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

Dense evergreen forests and deep valleys visible as the plane enters the final approach phase near the German border.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts. You will cross several major ranges including the Pyrenees and the Massif Central. Aim for a seat ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the dramatic mountain topography.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Mount Teide

Immediate and majestic view of Spain's highest peak and the volcanic crater as the plane climbs after takeoff.

🌊

Atlantic Seaboard

Expansive views of the deep blue ocean transition as the flight path approaches the Iberian Peninsula.

🚢

Lisbon Estuary

Distant but clear views of the Tagus river and the Portuguese coastline if the route follows the western corridor.

🏰

Spanish Meseta

The high, golden-hued plateau of central Spain, dotted with historic villages and agricultural patterns.

🍇

French Countryside

The lush green rolling hills and river valleys of central and northern France during the descent.

Choose the left side for the most iconic views of Mount Teide immediately after departure from Tenerife South. On afternoon flights, this side stays cooler as it is shielded from the direct southern sun during the northeasterly journey.
