The right side scores higher due to the landing approach into Tenerife Norte, which features dramatic volcanic terrain, the Anaga Mountains, and distant views of Mount Teide—genuine high-altitude landmarks with strong visual impact. The takeoff from Bournemouth is pleasant but brief; the cruise over the Atlantic dominates the left side with minimal scenery. The right side's landing sequence provides the flight's most distinctive and memorable views.
