Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, including the Moroccan Rif mountains, the glittering French Riviera, and the scenic descent over the Italian Apennines.
Rif Mountains
The rugged green and brown ridges of northern Morocco as you approach the Mediterranean.
Costa Blanca & Valencia
Detailed views of the Spanish tourist hubs and the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea.
French Riviera
Stunning vistas of Cannes, Nice, and the tiny principality of Monaco nestled against the cliffs.
Ligurian Coast
The colorful towns of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa.
Apennine Mountains
The flight crosses the mountain spine of Italy, offering deep valley views just before descending into Bologna.
The right side is unbeatable for afternoon flights, where the sun illuminates the Cรดte d'Azur and the Italian coast. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before arrival for a spectacular view of the French-Italian maritime border and the luxury yachts in the harbors below.
Hassan II Mosque
Aerial view of Casablanca's iconic landmark jutting into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada
Distance views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Barcelona Skyline
A distant but clear view of the Sagrada Famรญlia and the grid-like Eixample district.
The French Alps
Panoramic views of the Western Alps' peaks as the flight passes over the border toward Italy.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to catch the best view of the Casablanca coastline during departure. Watch for the dramatic contrast between the Spanish interior and the Mediterranean as you cross into Europe.
