Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic suspension bridges of Constantine during departure and provides a breathtaking panorama of the Marseille coastline, the Calanques, and the Old Port during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Constantine Gorges

Unrivaled views of the Rhumel River ravines and the iconic Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Skikda Coastline

The rugged, emerald-green coastline of northeastern Algeria as the aircraft transitions over the Mediterranean.

⛰️

Calanques National Park

Stunning white limestone cliffs and turquoise narrow inlets that stretch between Cassis and Marseille.

🏰

Château d'If

The historic island fortress located in the Bay of Marseille, famously known from the Count of Monte Cristo.

⛪

Notre-Dame de la Garde

The golden 'Bonne Mère' basilica sitting atop Marseille's highest hill is clearly visible during the final turn.

This is the essential side for the 'Marseille approach.' When landing on Runway 31, the plane typically performs a scenic loop over the bay, putting the entire city and its islands directly in your window. Morning flights are ideal for the best light on the Algerian cliffs.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏔️

Djurdjura Mountains

The snow-capped peaks of the Kabylie region are often visible to the west shortly after departing the Algerian coast.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea, occasionally spotting merchant vessels on major shipping lanes.

🦩

The Camargue

The unique salt marshes and wetlands of the Rhone delta are visible to the west during the descent into Marseille.

🏭

Fos-sur-Mer

Views of the massive industrial port complex and the geometric patterns of the salt pans near the French coast.

Sit forward of the wing to capture unobstructed views of the Algerian mountain ranges. On evening flights, this side receives the soft golden glow of the sunset over the Gulf of Lion.
