Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Moroccan Atlantic coast to the snow-capped Pyrenees and the varying coastlines of Western and Northern Europe.
Atlantic Seaboard
Breathtaking views of the Moroccan coastline and the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from Casablanca.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic aerial views of the mountain range forming the natural border between Spain and France, often snow-capped.
French Countryside
Vast stretches of the Loire Valley and potentially distant views of the Paris metropolitan area depending on the airway.
Baltic Coastline
If the flight path takes a northern track, the shimmering waters of the Baltic Sea and the Polish coast are visible.
Book a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees. On evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Atlantic and Western Europe. Watch for the Strait of Gibraltar early in the flight as you transition into European airspace.
Sierra Nevada
The high peaks of southern Spain, including Mulhacén, are often visible shortly after crossing the Mediterranean.
Central European Capitals
Excellent opportunities to spot the urban layouts of Madrid, Berlin, or Warsaw depending on the specific flight corridor.
Belarusian Forests
Dense, vast green forest canopies and meandering rivers as the flight crosses from Eastern Europe into Russia.
Moscow Approach
Panoramic views of the expanding Moscow suburbs and the city's unique circular road infrastructure during descent into SVO.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Spanish interior and the sprawling landscapes of Eastern Europe. Keep your camera ready for the final approach into Sheremetyevo, which often circles the city's northern districts.
