Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Saïss Airport (Fes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a superior vantage point for viewing the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, and the dramatic entry into the African continent via the Rif Mountains.
Barcelona Cityscape
A breathtaking view of the Eixample district's grid and the Mediterranean port after takeoff.
Costa Blanca Panorama
Continuous views of the Spanish tourist coast, stretching from Valencia down to Almeria.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Majestic views of mainland Spain's highest mountains, frequently covered in snow.
Rif Mountain Range
Direct views of the limestone peaks and deep valleys of northern Morocco during descent.
Saïss Plain
The fertile agricultural landscape surrounding Fes, characterized by olive groves and wheat fields.
The right side is the definitive choice for landscape photography. If flying in the late afternoon, you will experience a stunning sunset over the Spanish and Moroccan interiors. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to keep the Sierra Nevada in clear view.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water shortly after departing the Catalan coast.
Ibiza Distant View
On clear days, the silhouette of the Balearic Islands can be spotted to the east.
Al Hoceima Coast
The initial crossing point into Morocco featuring rugged cliffs and turquoise bays.
Middle Atlas Foothills
The undulating green and brown landscape of northern Morocco as you approach Saïss.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers a more serene, maritime-focused view before the final approach into Fes.
