Passengers on the right side will witness the sprawling Casablanca metropolitan area and the Atlantic coastline as the aircraft climbs and turns.
The right side offers the most iconic views, including the Hassan II Mosque upon departure from Casablanca and potential glimpses of the Canadian Maritimes and the New York City skyline on the approach to JFK.
The left side offers a superior vantage point for spotting the Atlantic coastline during the initial ascent and provides potential views of the capital city, Rabat, and its iconic river mouth as the plane heads northeast.
The right side is generally superior for this route as it provides a better perspective of the Brazilian coastline during the descent from the Northeast toward Sao Paulo and avoids the direct glare of the morning sun during the final stages of a typical overnight flight.
