Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the French Riviera, the Balearic Islands, and the most dramatic approach perspective of Mount Teide upon arrival in Tenerife.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Lake Garda & Southern Alps

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy stunning views of Italy's largest lake and the distant snow-capped peaks to the north.

🇫🇷

French Riviera

A prime view of the glitzy Cote d'Azur, including Monaco, Nice, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif.

🏖️

Balearic Islands

Look down for a perfect view of Majorca or Ibiza as the flight path crosses the Mediterranean towards Spain.

🥘

Andalusian Mountains

Dramatic views of the Sierra Nevada and the rugged terrain of southern Spain before heading out over the Atlantic.

🌋

Mount Teide

The crown jewel of the flight: Spain's highest peak dominates the horizon on the right as you descend into Tenerife.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Be ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture Mount Teide emerging above the clouds. For the best lighting on the French Riviera, a mid-morning departure is ideal.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Ligurian Coastline

Aerial views of the Italian Riviera and the sparkling blue waters of the Ligurian Sea shortly after departure.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

Depending on the specific airway, you can often spot the rugged, mountainous silhouettes of these Mediterranean islands to the south.

🌾

Castilian Plateau

Vast, golden agricultural landscapes of central Spain provide a geometric patchwork view as you cross the mainland.

☁️

Gran Canaria

On the final approach to Tenerife South, you will pass close to Gran Canaria, offering a clear view of its circular volcanic terrain.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is superior for spotting the neighboring Canary Islands during the final ten minutes of the flight.
