Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes including the rugged Rif Mountains, the high-altitude peaks of the Spanish Sierra Nevada, and a comprehensive view of the Pyrenees.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Rif Mountains

The verdant and rugged mountain range stretching across northern Morocco.

🏜️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often featuring snow even in warmer months.

🏙️

Madrid Metro Area

A distant view of the sprawling Spanish capital and the dry Meseta Central plateau.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

The dramatic jagged peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding river and historic landscape of central France, known for its chateaux.

Best for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Focus on the right side approximately 40 minutes into the flight for the Sierra Nevada. On the final descent into Brussels, this side often offers a better view of the city skyline if approaching from the south.

🌊

Moroccan Atlantic Coast

Views of the shoreline north of Casablanca including the capital city of Rabat.

🚢

Strait of Gibraltar

The western entrance where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.

🏖️

Costa de la Luz

The expansive sandy beaches of the southwestern Spanish coastline near Cadiz.

Ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Watch for the Moroccan coastline immediately after takeoff and look for the distant outline of the Portuguese coast while over the Gulf of Cadiz.
