CRL β AGA
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic High Atlas Mountains during the descent into Morocco, alongside views of the Mediterranean coastline and the rugged landscapes of eastern Spain and central France.
Charleroi Industrial Basin
Aerial view of the historic Sambre river and the industrial landscape of the Walloon region immediately after takeoff.
Pyrenees Orientales
As the flight crosses the border between France and Spain, look for the snow-capped peaks of the eastern Pyrenees.
Costa Blanca & Murcia
Clear views of the white sand beaches of the Spanish Mediterranean coast and the arid, volcanic-looking terrain of the Murcia region.
High Atlas Range
Spectacular views of North Africa's highest peaks, including Mount Toubkal, often covered in snow during winter months.
Souss Valley
The fertile green plains of the Souss valley contrasting with the surrounding arid mountains as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The approach into Agadir often involves a turn over the Atlas Mountains, providing deep shadows and relief contrast that is best viewed from this side. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing.
Loire Valley Castles
On clear days, the winding Loire river and its historic chateaus are visible while cruising over central France.
Madrid & The Meseta
The flight path often passes west of Madrid, offering views of the vast, high-altitude Spanish plateau and the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Strait of Gibraltar
A iconic view of the narrow gap between Europe and Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Follow the rugged coastline of Morocco, passing near historic port cities like Safi and the windy surfing hub of Essaouira.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean on evening flights, creating vibrant orange and purple gradients.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the ocean. It also provides the best chance to see the Rock of Gibraltar if the flight path tracks slightly westward. Use a polarising filter on your camera to cut through the haze often found over the Spanish Meseta.
