Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Flight over the extinct volcanoes and rugged green plateaus of central France.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

A breathtaking high-altitude crossing of the jagged, snow-capped border between France and Spain.

🏰

Spanish Meseta

The vast, rust-colored high plateau of interior Spain dotted with ancient towns.

🏞️

Sierra Nevada Range

In the distance to the south, the highest peaks of mainland Spain may be visible near Granada.

🌊

Alboran Sea Crossing

The narrow stretch of water connecting the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.

πŸŒ„

The Rif Mountains

The final approach offers views of the rugged, green-and-brown Rif mountain range in Northern Morocco.

For the best experience, choose the right side during afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Spanish landscape. The descent into Oujda Angads usually offers a clear view of the border region between Morocco and Algeria, which is characterized by dramatic topographic changes.

The Balearic Sea

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. Keep an eye out for the island of Ibiza which can occasionally be spotted in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
