AGA β CRL
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Moroccan coastline, the transition from Africa to Europe over the Strait of Gibraltar, and the sprawling Atlantic beaches of southwestern France.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Stunning views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches stretching from Agadir towards Casablanca.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow gap where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, with the African coast fading behind.
Costa de la Luz
The golden sands of the Spanish coastline near Huelva and the DoΓ±ana National Park marshes.
Bordeaux & Arcachon
Visible views of the Dune of Pilat and the dense forest regions of southwestern France.
La Rochelle Coastline
The intricate islands and historic ports along the western French coast as you head north.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. During the first 30 minutes, watch the contrast between the Saharan terrain and the ocean. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the crossing into Europe.
High Atlas Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the Atlas range are often visible to the east shortly after departing Agadir.
The Rock of Gibraltar
A clear view of the iconic limestone monolith and the bustling bay of Algeciras.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain, featuring a patchwork of agricultural fields and the Sierra de Guadarrama.
The Pyrenees
The majestic mountain border between Spain and France, offering dramatic jagged peaks.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and glimpses of historic chateaux from high altitude.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the snow on the Pyrenees during winter and spring months. On clear days, you may even spot the distant skyline of Madrid roughly halfway through the flight.
