AGA → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic High Atlas mountains shortly after takeoff, followed by a potential view of the Rock of Gibraltar and the snow-capped Pyrenees range during the transit over Europe.
High Atlas Mountains
Stunning views of North Africa's highest peaks, often snow-capped, shortly after departing Agadir.
Marrakesh
The distinct red-walled 'Ochre City' can often be spotted nestled at the foot of the mountains.
Rock of Gibraltar
The iconic limestone monolith marking the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Pyrenees
A magnificent crossing of the jagged peaks that separate Spain from France.
Rhine River
The winding Rhine and its legendary valley as you begin your final descent into Frankfurt.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers depending on the arrival runway configuration.
Sit on the right side for the most dramatic terrain. Early morning flights are best as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Atlas and Pyrenees mountains. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain vistas. During winter, the snow cover on the Pyrenees is particularly photogenic.
Atlantic Coastline
Clear views of the Agadir shoreline and the vast Atlantic Ocean during the initial climb.
Casablanca and Rabat
Distant views of the coastal urban centers of Morocco as you fly north along the coast.
Strait of Gibraltar
The western entrance to the Mediterranean where the Atlantic meets the Alboran Sea.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Rolling hills and the Garonne river winding through the famous wine regions of Southwest France.
Loire Valley
Patchwork fields and historic chateaux visible as the flight traverses central France.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun setting in the west. It provides excellent perspectives of the Moroccan coast and the Bay of Biscay. Look for the bright white architecture of Casablanca about 45 minutes into the flight.
