Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇮🇹

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🇫🇷

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.
