CMN β MXP
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, the glamourous French Riviera, and a dramatic descent over the high Italian Alps and Alpine lakes into Milan.
Rif Mountains
The lush, green-topped peaks of northern Morocco visible shortly after departure.
Costa del Sol
The sparkling beaches of Malaga and the Alboran Sea coastline of southern Spain.
French Riviera
Crystal clear views of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the iconic bays of Nice and Monaco.
Monte Rosa Massif
The second-highest mountain in the Alps, providing a majestic backdrop during the descent.
Italian Lakes
Potential views of Lake Maggiore or Lake Como depending on the specific arrival pattern into MXP.
The right side is ideal for coastal scenery. Timing is key; during afternoon flights, the 'Golden Hour' illuminates the Mediterranean coast and the Alps beautifully. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Riviera and the dramatic Alpine lakes during the final approach.
Casablanca Shoreline
View the Hassan II Mosque and the sprawling Atlantic coast immediately after takeoff from CMN.
Strait of Gibraltar
A distant look at the narrow crossing where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Sierra Morena
The rugged interior mountain ranges of southern and central Spain.
The Pyrenees
Sharp, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between the Iberian Peninsula and France.
Western Alps
Views of Mont Blanc and the Ecrins Massif as the aircraft turns toward northern Italy.
Choose the left side for better views of the Atlantic Ocean at takeoff and the Spanish interior. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right, making the left side better for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Rhone Valley during the transition into the Alps.
