AGA → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Massira Airport (Agadir) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in Morocco and the iconic Strait of Gibraltar to the rugged Pyrenees and the châteaux of the Loire Valley.
High Atlas Mountains
Stunning views of North Africa's highest peaks, including Jebel Toubkal, shortly after departure from Agadir.
Marrakech
The 'Red City' and its surrounding palm groves are often visible as the flight heads north-northeast.
Rock of Gibraltar
A clear view of the iconic limestone monolith and the narrow strait separating two continents.
Castilian Plateau
The dramatic, arid landscapes of central Spain and the sprawl of the Madrid metropolitan area.
The Pyrenees
Jagged, often snow-dusted peaks marking the natural border between Spain and France.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the famous French châteaux scattered across the lush greenery of central France.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side for an afternoon flight to benefit from the sun being on the opposite side. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Atlas Mountains. On clear days, the crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar is a major geographic highlight not to be missed.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Aerial views of the rugged coastline and the cities of Essaouira and Safi shortly after takeoff.
Costa de la Luz
The sandy beaches of southwestern Spain near Huelva as the flight enters European airspace.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue oceanic views and the coastline of the Basque Country during the transition into France.
Parisian Suburbs
Vast urban landscapes and French countryside as the aircraft aligns for the final approach to Orly.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. While mostly coastal, it offers great views of the Atlantic horizon. During the final approach into Orly, if the wind is from the west, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and the La Défense skyline.
