Brittany Coastline
Views of the westernmost tip of France as the plane crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Picos de Europa
Snow-capped limestone peaks visible as you enter Spanish airspace over the northern coast.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its unique ochre and gold terrain.
Strait of Gibraltar
In the distance, the narrow gap between Europe and Africa may be visible on clear days.
Middle Atlas Foothills
The transition from the Mediterranean climate to the arid, rugged red earth of Morocco.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rising over the European continent. It is particularly striking during the descent into Marrakech when the red soil of the Al Haouz plain contrasts with the distant Atlas Mountains. Avoid seats between rows 10-22 to ensure an unobstructed view away from the wing.

The right side is preferred for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers excellent views of the Portuguese coastline, which is a major highlight of this route.
