Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Tenerife Norte Airport (Tenerife)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is premier for this route because it offers the most dramatic views of the Canary Islands' volcanic landscapes, specifically the majestic Mount Teide during the final approach into Tenerife Norte.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic, often showing deep-sea shipping lanes and the turquoise coastal shelf.
Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
As the flight nears the archipelago, the volcanic craters of the eastern islands emerge from the sea to the south.
Mount Teide
The absolute highlight; the 3,715-meter peak of Spain's highest mountain towers above the clouds as you descend.
Anaga Rural Park
Final approach views of the ancient laurel forests and sharp ridges of the northeastern tip of Tenerife.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Mount Teide. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the volcano during the descent. If the flight is in the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands with a warm, golden glow.
Casablanca Skyline
Aerial views of the Hassan II Mosque's massive minaret standing right on the edge of the Atlantic during departure.
Moroccan Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged cliffs and white-sand beaches stretching from El Jadida down toward Agadir.
Atlas Mountains
On clear days, the distant, often snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas range are visible inland to the east.
Saharan Fringe
Witness the stark transition where the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for photographers interested in the geometric patterns of the Moroccan coastal agriculture and desert topography. Keep an eye out for the historic port city of Essaouira about 45 minutes into the flight.
