CMN → NCE
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side is superior for its aerial perspective of the Balearic Islands and the world-class approach into Nice over the Baie des Anges and the Promenade des Anglais.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, verdant peaks of northern Morocco provide a dramatic backdrop during the initial climb.
Balearic Islands
Exceptional views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca surrounded by deep blue Mediterranean waters.
Baie des Anges
The iconic sweeping blue bay of Nice visible during the low-altitude final approach into NCE.
Promenade des Anglais
A bird's-eye view of the world-famous pebble beaches and the luxury hotels lining the Nice waterfront.
Ligurian Alps
On clear days, the maritime Alps and the Italian coastline stretching toward Genoa are visible on the horizon.
The right side is essential for the landing. Most NCE arrivals use the 'Riviera' approach, which involves a scenic turn over the sea; sit here to see the city of Nice and the Alps. Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare and ensure unobstructed views of the islands.
Casablanca Coastline
Aerial view of the Hassan II Mosque's minaret rising over the Atlantic shore immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada
The snow-capped peaks of mainland Spain's highest range are visible across the Alboran Sea.
Barcelona Skyline
Clear views of the Eixample district's grid pattern and the Sagrada Família as you track the Spanish coast.
Massif de l'Estérel
Striking red volcanic rock formations meeting the turquoise Mediterranean waters just west of Cannes.
Sit on the left for consistent views of the Spanish and French coastlines. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula and the Pyrenees in the distance.
