ZQW → TFS
Which side of the plane to sit from Zweibrücken Airport (Zweibruecken) to Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer diverse views, the Right Side is superior for the spectacular aerial approach into Tenerife, providing unparalleled views of Mount Teide and the Portuguese coastline during the mid-flight segment.

Bordeaux & Garonne
Look down upon the famous vineyard regions of southwest France and the wide Garonne river estuary.
Lisbon and the Tagus
Capture stunning views of the Portuguese coast, including the mouth of the Tagus River and the Atlantic shoreline.
Atlantic Horizon
Enjoy the deep sapphire blues of the Atlantic Ocean with potential sightings of passing cargo ships.
Mount Teide
The ultimate highlight: witness Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds as the plane descends into Tenerife South.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. The descent is the most critical part; the pilot typically circles the island clockwise or approaches from the north, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to the volcanic majesty of Mount Teide.

Vosges Mountains
Shortly after takeoff, view the rolling green peaks of the Vosges range in eastern France.
Madrid & Central Meseta
Pass over the high plateau of central Spain with views of the sprawling capital city and its surrounding arid landscape.
Strait of Gibraltar
On a clear day, look far south to see the narrow gap between Europe and Africa as you leave the mainland.
Fuerteventura and Lanzarote
As you approach the archipelago, these easternmost islands often appear as golden gems in the blue Atlantic.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is better for seeing the density of Spanish inland cities and the distant African coastline as you approach the Canary Islands. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon over the Spanish plateau.
