Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline and the unique wetlands of Southern France upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Alboran Sea

The deep blue waters where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean as you leave the African coast.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

Stunning views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters along the Spanish eastern seaboard.

🏝️

Balearic Horizon

On very clear days, you may spot the silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca to the east.

🌅

Costa Brava

The 'Rugged Coast' of Catalonia featuring hidden coves and steep cliffs meeting the sea.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

A spectacular approach over pink salt pans and lagoons, famous for wild horses and flamingos.

The right side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts. The approach into MPL is particularly scenic from this side as the aircraft often banks over the Etang de l'Or. For the best photography of the Mediterranean coast, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, avoiding glare on the window.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

The Rif Mountains

Dramatic views of the rugged, green peaks of northern Morocco shortly after departure.

❄️

Sierra Nevada Peaks

Distant views of mainland Spain's highest mountains, often snow-capped during winter and spring.

🏙️

City of Valencia

A clear view of the sprawling coastal city and its modern architectural landmarks from cruising altitude.

⛰️

Pyrenees Massif

The majestic mountain range forming the border between Spain and France visible to the west.

🍷

Languedoc Vineyards

The patchworked landscape of southern French vineyards during the final descent into Montpellier.

Sit on the left if you prefer mountainous terrain; you will see the spine of the Rif and the distant Sierra Nevada. Late afternoon flights provide excellent soft lighting on the Spanish interior. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River Delta, which looks like a bird's foot stretching into the sea.
