Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline of France and Spain, culminating in a spectacular view of the Strait of Gibraltar and the transition between continents.
Zeeland Delta
The intricate network of islands and massive storm surge barriers of the Dutch Delta Works immediately after takeoff.
Normandy Coastline
Distinctive views of the white chalk cliffs and the historic beaches of Northern France along the English Channel.
Picos de Europa
The limestone peaks of Northern Spain's most dramatic mountain range as the flight path crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the Spanish capital and its surrounding dry plains as the flight moves south through the Iberian Peninsula.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic maritime gateway where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, with views of the Rock of Gibraltar to the east.
Cap Spartel
The northwesternmost point of mainland Africa, where the lighthouse marks the entrance to the Strait.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Tanger. You get a front-row seat to the 'meeting of two seas' at the Strait of Gibraltar. For afternoon flights, be aware of the sun's glare, but the golden hour views of the Atlantic coast are breathtaking. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the African coastline appearing out of the blue.
Randstad Panorama
Bird's-eye view of the densely populated urban heart of the Netherlands including Utrecht and the southern suburbs.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the lush French countryside and the winding Loire River, famous for its historic chateaus.
Eastern Pyrenees
Distal views of the rugged mountain range separating France and Spain, often capped with snow in winter months.
Alboran Sea
The sparkling blue waters of the westernmost Mediterranean as the aircraft begins its final descent toward Morocco.
Rif Mountains
The dramatic green and brown ridges of the Rif range appearing as you approach the northern coast of Africa.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side provides a great view of the inland Spanish plains and the approach over the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia. Keep your eyes peeled for the Sierra Nevada peaks in the distance if the visibility is high.
