Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an exceptional view of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French and Italian Riviera, the Spanish coast, and the iconic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Riviera Coastline
Stunning views of the Italian and French Riviera, potentially spotting cities like Genoa, Nice, and Monaco.
Spanish Mediterranean
Aerial perspectives of the Spanish coast, often passing near Barcelona or the Balearic Islands.
Rock of Gibraltar
The unmistakable limestone monolith marking the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
Strait of Gibraltar
Witness the narrow point where Europe and Africa are separated by only 14 kilometers of water.
Atlantic Coastline
The final approach provides views of the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean near Casablanca.
The right side is the clear winner for landmarks. To see the French Riviera and Gibraltar, choose a window seat forward of the wing. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare as you head southwest. The crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar is the flight highlight; it typically occurs about 45 minutes before landing at CMN.
Apennine Mountains
Shortly after takeoff from Bologna, catch views of the rugged mountain spine of Italy.
Corsica & Sardinia
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of these Mediterranean islands can be seen across the water.
Rif Mountains
As you enter Moroccan airspace, the green, rolling peaks of the northern Rif range come into view.
Moroccan Plateau
Vast agricultural landscapes and traditional settlements leading into the interior of the country.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled about 30-40 minutes before landing for the transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the diverse terrain of northern Morocco. This side provides a more serene, ocean-dominated view for the middle portion of the journey.
