Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Saïss Airport (Fes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography and prime views of the Alps upon departure, the stunning Spanish coastline (including Barcelona), and the lush Middle Atlas mountains on approach.
Italian Alps
Spectacular northern views of the Alpine arc during the initial climb from Bergamo.
Côte d'Azur
Tracing the coastline of the French Riviera and the Gulf of Lion from high altitude.
Barcelona
Clear views of the iconic Eixample grid and the Sagrada Família when following the Spanish coast.
Middle Atlas
Detailed views of cedar forests and verdant valleys during the descent into Saïss Airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it remains in the shade, offering the best conditions for landscape photography. Look out for the distant silhouette of the Rock of Gibraltar to the far right during the crossing from Europe to Africa. The approach to Fes often involves a scenic turn over the Middle Atlas foothills.
Po Valley
Expansive views of the industrial heart of Italy and the outskirts of Milan shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Islands
Aerial perspectives of Mallorca or Ibiza rising from the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Sierra Nevada
Snow-capped peaks of Southern Spain visible as the flight tracks toward the Alboran Sea.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinted limestone ridges that mark the entrance into Northern Moroccan airspace.
On southbound daytime flights, the sun is predominantly on the left side, which can cause significant glare and cabin heat. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos. This side is better for spotting the Balearic archipelago during mid-flight cruise.
