FEZ → FNI
Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (Nimes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline of Spain and France, culminating in a breathtaking descent over the Camargue wetlands.
Alboran Sea
The crossing of the westernmost Mediterranean, where the deep blue water meets the horizon.
Costa Blanca
A continuous view of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters along the Spanish coast near Alicante.
Barcelona Skyline
A panoramic view of the Catalan capital, including the iconic port and urban grid layout.
Costa Brava
The 'Wild Coast' of Spain, characterized by rocky cliffs and hidden coves north of Barcelona.
The Camargue
The highlight of the trip: pink salt pans, lagoons, and wetlands just before landing at FNI.
The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. During afternoon flights, the sun is behind you, illuminating the Spanish coast and the pink hues of the Aigues-Mortes salt pans perfectly. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for the unique geometry of the Camargue delta.
Rif Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged green and grey peaks of northern Morocco immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada
Visible in the distance to the west after crossing the sea, featuring the highest peaks of mainland Spain.
Montserrat
The unique, multi-peaked serrated mountain range located near Barcelona is visible during the cruise phase.
Eastern Pyrenees
Craggy alpine terrain as the flight transitions from Spanish to French airspace.
Occitanie Vineyards
Lush patterns of French wine country as the aircraft begins its descent toward Nîmes.
Choose the left side if you prefer mountain scenery over coastal views. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Look for the distant silhouette of the Rock of Gibraltar shortly after departure if the visibility is high.
