CMN → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the High Pyrenees' snow-capped peaks and the most iconic approach views of the Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower, when landing at Orly.
Rock of Gibraltar
Distinguishable silhouette of the famous rock as you cross from Africa into Europe.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Large urban expanse of the Spanish capital visible as the flight traverses the Meseta.
High Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks dividing Spain and France, often snow-covered.
French Countryside
Rolling hills of the Limousin region and the lush green landscapes of central France.
Paris Landmarks
Spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse, and the Seine on final approach.
The right side is essential for the iconic Paris approach. If Orly is using runways 06 or 24, you will likely see the city center. Keep your camera ready as you descend past the Loire Valley.
Atlantic Shoreline
Beautiful views of the Moroccan coast immediately after takeoff from Casablanca.
Strait of Gibraltar
The western mouth of the strait where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Extremadura Plains
Rugged landscapes of western Spain near the Portuguese border.
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic coastline of southwest France and the city of La Rochelle.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the winding Loire River and its famous historic estates.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare from the east. This side is also best for sunset views over the Atlantic if flying in the late afternoon.
