Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?

Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of iconic landmarks, including the High Atlas range, the Rock of Gibraltar, the Spanish Meseta, and potential views of Paris and the Rhine River.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

High Atlas Peaks

Shortly after takeoff, witness the rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains to the east.

⛰️

Rock of Gibraltar

A highlight of the trip, offering a clear view of the iconic limestone monolith and the narrow strait separating Africa and Europe.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The arid, reddish landscapes of central Spain provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the surrounding blue waters.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The jagged peaks marking the border between Spain and France are clearly visible as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay corner.

🗼

Paris Skyline

Depending on the specific air traffic control routing, the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris can often be spotted in the distance.

🌊

Rhine River Valley

As you descend into Düsseldorf, the winding Rhine River and the industrial heart of the Ruhr area come into sharp focus.

Ensure you are looking out roughly 45 to 60 minutes after takeoff to catch the Strait of Gibraltar. This side is also best for seeing the transition from the dry landscapes of Morocco and Spain into the lush green forests of Central France. For night flights, this side provides better views of the brightly lit cities of Madrid and Paris.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Dramatic views of the Agadir shoreline and the deep blue Atlantic as you climb away from Morocco.

🏖️

Portuguese Algarve

Distant views of the golden cliffs and turquoise waters of southern Portugal during the crossing towards Spain.

🚢

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of ocean often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the English Channel.

🏝️

French Islands

Clear views of Île d'Oléron and Île de Ré off the coast of La Rochelle as the flight enters French airspace.

🌆

Benelux Lowlands

The intricate network of canals and coastal plains of Belgium and the southern Netherlands before the turn into Düsseldorf.

Choose this side for stunning sunsets over the Atlantic if flying in the late afternoon. It is also the better side for observing the intricate tidal patterns along the French Atlantic coast. During the final approach into DUS, you may see the northern outskirts of the city and the flat plains of the Lower Rhine.
