About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Tenerife Sur (TFS) to Brussels South (CRL)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tenerife to Charleroi. The departure from Tenerife offers more dramatic and visually distinctive geography—volcanic terrain, the Teno Mountains, and the island's interior ridgeline. The landing approach into Belgium is over relatively flat, uniform farmland. Left seats capture the more memorable visual experience on takeoff, which outweighs the modest advantage of right seats on approach.

What can I see during takeoff from Tenerife Sur in Tenerife?

During takeoff from Tenerife Sur (TFS), sit on the Left side for the best views. TFS typically departs runway 07/25. On a westerly departure (runway 07), left seats face north toward the Teno Mountains and the northern coast of Tenerife. On an easterly departure (runway 25), left seats still capture the volcanic terrain and the island's interior ridgeline as you climb. Notable sights include: Teno Mountains (northwest), Mount Teide (visible as a distant peak during climb), northern coastline of Tenerife, volcanic ridge running north-south through the island interior.

What can I see when landing at Brussels South in Charleroi?

Right seats on descent will face the Meuse River valley, the industrial landscape of southern Belgium, and the approach path over the Walloon countryside. This provides better views of the terrain leading into the airport. Notable sights include: Meuse River valley, Sambre River confluence area, industrial towns of Charleroi region, Belgian agricultural plains.

What does the Tenerife to Charleroi flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Atlantic northwest of Africa, then over the Bay of Biscay and into western France. At cruise altitude (around 35,000 feet), individual landmarks are not distinctly visible, but the general progression is: open Atlantic for the first 3 hours, then the Iberian Peninsula and French coastline appear on the horizon around the 4-hour mark, followed by the approach into northern France and Belgium. The Pyrenees may be visible as a distant line on the horizon during the transition from Spain to France, but only as a subtle ridge, not a dominant feature.
