AGA → LEJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic geological transitions, from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in Morocco to the jagged ridges of the Pyrenees and views of the Strait of Gibraltar.
High Atlas Mountains
Spectacular views of the rugged, often snow-dusted peaks of the Atlas range shortly after takeoff.
Strait of Gibraltar
A clear view of the iconic Rock of Gibraltar and the meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Madrid Skyline
Frequent routes pass east of the Spanish capital, offering a sprawling view of the city's modern skyscrapers.
The Pyrenees
Crossing the mountainous natural border between Spain and France with its dramatic high-altitude ridges.
Thuringian Forest
The 'Green Heart of Germany' appears shortly before landing, characterized by dense spruce forests.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlas Mountains. This side is superior for geography enthusiasts as it covers the most distinct mountain ranges. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Gibraltar crossing, which is the most photogenic moment of the journey.
Atlantic Seaboard
Immediate views of the Agadir coastline and the deep blue Atlantic as the plane turns north.
Andalusian Plains
The vast, golden agricultural expanses of western Spain, dotted with white-washed villages.
Loire Valley
Visible as the flight crosses central France, featuring winding rivers and glimpses of historic chateaus.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost range in Germany, providing a lush green landscape during the final descent into Leipzig.
Select the left side for afternoon departures to minimize glare from the sun. During the approach to LEJ, watch for the Elbe River and the industrial architecture of the Saxony-Anhalt region. If the flight path swings west of Paris, you may catch a distant view of the Eiffel Tower on a very clear day.
