Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the European Atlantic coastline and the iconic approach to Tenerife, showcasing Mount Teide's grandeur.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🗼

Paris Region

If following a northern airway, the sprawling suburbs and lights of the French capital are visible.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The transition from land to the deep blue Atlantic as the plane crosses the French-Spanish border.

🇵🇹

Portuguese Coast

A stunning view of the Tagus estuary and the metropolitan area of Lisbon from high altitude.

⛵

Atlantic Crossing

Deep ocean vistas and frequently spotted cargo ship trails heading toward the Strait of Gibraltar.

🌋

Mount Teide

The ultimate highlight: Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds during the approach.

The right side is essential for the arrival phase. Most flights approach TFS from the north, banking over the ocean; the right side provides a front-row seat to the massive Teide volcano. For afternoon flights, be prepared for bright sunlight and heat on this side of the cabin.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Berlin Outskirts

Aerial views of the Brandenburg forests and lakes shortly after departure.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The dense, rolling green hills of central Germany's famous forested mountain range.

⛰️

Massif Central

Vistas of the ancient volcanic plateaus and deep valleys of south-central France.

☀️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude arid plains of central Spain, characterized by golden hues.

🏜️

African Horizon

On clear days during the descent, the hazy outline of the Moroccan coastline may appear.

Choose the left side for morning departures to minimize direct sun glare as you head southwest. During the final descent into Tenerife South (TFS), look for the rugged southern coastline of the island and the distinctive red volcanic earth near the airport.
