Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred primarily for the approach into Tenerife, offering an unparalleled view of Mount Teide and the volcanic northern slopes as the aircraft descends toward the south of the island.

Castile-La Mancha
The geometric patterns of central Spain's agricultural heartland and the red soil of the plains.
Guadalquivir Delta
The winding river and the sprawling wetlands of Doñana National Park near the Atlantic coast.
Mount Teide
A majestic view of Spain's highest peak, the 3,715m volcano, which dominates the approach to the island.
Lunar Landscapes
The arid, volcanic terrain of Tenerife's southern coast as the plane lines up for the runway.
The right side is the 'cool side' during southbound flights, meaning less direct heat from the sun. It is the definitive choice for viewing Mount Teide during the descent. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the volcano.

Costa Blanca
Bird's eye view of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters shortly after takeoff from Valencia.
Sierra Nevada
The snow-capped peaks of Andalusia, including Mulhacén, the highest point on the Iberian Peninsula.
Strait of Gibraltar
On clear days, the narrow passage between Europe and Africa is visible, including the Rock of Gibraltar.
Gran Canaria

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon; you will enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for the African coastline when passing the Strait of Gibraltar, as the Rif Mountains in Morocco are often visible.
