Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Es Senia Airport (Oran)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean crossing and a breathtaking view of the Oran harbor and the historic Santa Cruz Fort during the final approach.
Barcelona Coastal View
Upon departure, enjoy views of the Barceloneta beaches and the iconic city skyline as the plane climbs over the sea.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean waters, occasionally dotted with cargo ships and ferries heading to Ibiza.
Algerian Shoreline
The first glimpse of the African continent, featuring the rugged cliffs and sandy coves near Mostaganem.
Port of Oran
A detailed aerial view of one of Algeria's most important commercial and passenger ports during descent.
Fort of Santa Cruz
The most famous landmark of Oran, perched on Mount Murdjadjo, visible just before the plane touches down.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best views. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Algerian coast. This side is specifically better for spotting the historic architecture of Oran as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Llobregat Delta
Detailed views of the wetlands and protected natural areas immediately surrounding Barcelona Airport.
Western Horizon
Perfect for evening flights to catch a stunning Mediterranean sunset over the open water.
Cape Falcon
A prominent headland west of Oran that marks the western edge of the Gulf of Oran.
Sebkha d'Oran
The massive, shimmering salt lake located to the south of the city, often visible depending on the landing pattern.
Select a 'F' window seat if you are flying during the late afternoon or evening to enjoy the sunset. Keep an eye out for the white expanse of the Sebkha salt lake; it is a unique geographic feature that looks particularly striking from the air during the dry season.
