Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic French Riviera, the Spanish coastline, and the dramatic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar into Africa.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

French Riviera

Spectacular views of the Cote d'Azur, including Nice, Cannes, and the dramatic red rocks of the Esterel Massif.

🏔️

Pyrenees Range

On clear days, the high peaks of the Pyrenees marking the border between France and Spain are visible to the west.

🥘

Spanish Levant Coast

The aircraft often hugs the Spanish coast near Valencia and Alicante, offering views of high-rise coastal resorts and rugged sierras.

⚓

Strait of Gibraltar

A major highlight where you can see the Rock of Gibraltar and the narrow gap separating Europe from the African continent.

🌊

Atlantic Ocean

The final approach provides a stunning transition as the Mediterranean ends and the vast Atlantic coastline of Morocco appears.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal geography. For late afternoon flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Casablanca. Try to sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the most significant landmark on this route.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Po Valley & Milan

Aerial views of the sprawling Lombardy plains and the Milanese metropolitan area shortly after takeoff from Bergamo.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

The rugged peaks of the Italian Apennine range stretching southwards as the plane heads toward the Mediterranean.

🏝️

Balearic Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean with distant glimpses of the Balearic Islands depending on the flight path.

🏜️

Middle Atlas Mountains

Upon entering Moroccan airspace, the distant, often snow-capped ridges of the Middle Atlas range are visible to the southeast.

🌾

Moroccan Plains

The fertile agricultural basins of northern Morocco as the aircraft begins its descent toward Casablanca.

This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distant silhouette of Corsica while crossing the Ligurian Sea. It is generally the 'quieter' side for views until reaching the African continent.
