Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the European coastline to the rugged High Atlas mountains during the approach into Marrakech.
Po Valley & Milan
Aerial views of the sprawling Milanese metropolitan area and the fertile Po River plains shortly after takeoff.
Ligurian Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the Apennines and the Mediterranean sea near Genoa.
Corsica & Sardinia
Bird's-eye view of the rugged, mountainous terrain and turquoise bays of these Mediterranean islands.
Algerian Coast
The North African coastline often comes into view with the Tell Atlas mountains rising sharply from the sea.
High Atlas Mountains
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks (seasonal) as the plane descends toward Marrakech.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. The most spectacular views occur in the final 30 minutes of the flight as you approach the Atlas range; ensure your window is clear of frost.
French Riviera
Glittering views of the Cote d'Azur, including the famous coastlines of Nice and Cannes.
Spanish Mediterranean
Clear views of the Costa Brava and the metropolitan sprawl of Barcelona as you track the coast.
Balearic Islands
The islands of Majorca and Ibiza are often visible as distinct shapes in the deep blue Mediterranean.
Strait of Gibraltar
Depending on the exact airway, you can often spot the narrow gap between Europe and Africa.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
The contrast between the blue ocean and the reddish-brown arid landscape of northern Morocco.
This side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out for the Spanish coastline, which remains visible for a significant portion of the mid-flight.
