Which side of the plane to sit from Hierro Airport (Hierro) to Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of Spain's highest peak, Mount Teide, which dominates the horizon for the majority of this short inter-island hop.
Search flights from VDE to TFN
Mount Teide
The 3,715m volcanic peak is the star of the flight, often poking through a sea of white clouds.
Corona Forestal
Dense pine forests surrounding the Teide National Park, visible as a dark green belt.
Orotava Valley
The sweeping, fertile valley stretching from the slopes of Teide down to the Atlantic coast.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna
View of the UNESCO World Heritage city just before touchdown at Tenerife Norte.
La Gomera South
Clear views of the sun-drenched, arid southern slopes of La Gomera during the middle of the flight.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. Since the flight is short (approx. 40 mins), keep your camera ready from the moment of take-off. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the volcano's eastern face, while afternoon flights may provide a dramatic silhouette.

Atlantic Blue
Expansive views of the deep cobalt waters of the Atlantic Ocean between El Hierro and Tenerife.
La Gomera North Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged, lush green cliffs and deep ravines of northern La Gomera.
Anaga Massif
As the plane approaches Tenerife Norte, you see the ancient, jagged peaks of the Anaga Rural Park.
Bajamar & Punta del Hidalgo
Final approach views of the northern coastal towns and their natural swimming pools.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the vastness of the ocean and the rugged, less-developed northern coastlines of the islands. This side is better during midday to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun.
