Which side of the plane to sit from Saint-Étienne-Bouthéon Airport (St-Etienne) to Saïss Airport (Fes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior geological progression, featuring the volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central, a direct crossing of the high Pyrenees, and the transition into the arid beauty of northern Morocco.
Massif Central
Immediate views of the ancient volcanic domes and lush green parks of south-central France after departure.
Pyrenees Peaks
A direct and spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often snow-dusted.
Iberian Meseta
The vast, high-altitude central plains of Spain, showcasing agricultural patterns and historic arid landscapes.
Moroccan Interior
The striking transition from the blue Alboran Sea to the golden and earthy tones of the North African terrain.
The right side is best for land-based landmarks. For the most dramatic lighting on the Pyrenees, choose an afternoon flight. Ensure you look out about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.
Distant Alps
On clear days shortly after takeoff, the snow-capped French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.
Gulf of Lion
The vast blue curve of the Mediterranean coastline stretching from Montpellier toward the Costa Brava.
Catalan Coast
Aerial views of the Mediterranean shoreline as the flight bypasses the eastern edge of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Rif Mountains
The rugged, dramatic green and limestone peaks of northern Morocco during the final approach into Saïss.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is ideal for passengers who enjoy vast sea views and the distinct silhouette of the Moroccan coastline appearing on the horizon.
