Which side of the plane to sit from Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including the Rock of Gibraltar, the snowy Sierra Nevada range, and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees during the descent.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinged peaks of northern Morocco before crossing the Mediterranean.
Rock of Gibraltar
A clear, classic view of the limestone monolith and the narrow strait connecting two continents.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often snow-capped even in late spring, featuring Mulhacén.
Ebro River Valley
The winding Ebro river cutting through the arid landscapes of Aragon near Zaragoza.
Central Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the highest massifs, including Pico Aneto, just before beginning the descent into Toulouse.
This is the premier side for this route. Keep your camera ready about 35-45 minutes after takeoff for the Strait of Gibraltar. During the winter months, the snow-covered Pyrenees on the right are breathtaking. If landing in Toulouse from the south (standard approach), you may also see the Garonne river winding toward the city.
Rabat & Salé
Aerial view of the Moroccan capital and the Bou Regreg river shortly after departure.
Cape Spartel
The northwestern tip of Africa where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Guadalquivir Marshes
The unique geometric patterns of the Doñana National Park and the wetlands of southern Spain.
Western Pyrenees
Green, rolling valleys and limestone peaks as the flight enters French airspace.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun on the right. This side offers better views of the Atlantic coastline of Morocco during the initial climb. For photography, use a polarizing filter to cut through the haze over the Gulf of Cadiz.
