FEZ → MRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side offers a continuous view of the Spanish coastline, the right side is preferred for the spectacular final approach into Marseille, featuring the Frioul Islands and the iconic Calanques cliffs.
Alboran Sea
The deep blue waters of the westernmost Mediterranean, often dotted with cargo ships heading to the Strait of Gibraltar.
Balearic Islands
Distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca may be visible to the east depending on the flight corridor.
Calanques National Park
Dramatic white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets just south of Marseille during the descent.
Château d'If
The famous fortress and former prison located on a small island in the Bay of Marseille.
Old Port of Marseille
A perfect view of the Vieux-Port and the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica as the plane turns for landing.
Choose the right side for the arrival experience. Most flights into MRS land on Runway 31L/R, which requires a turn over the sea, offering a panoramic view of the Marseille coastline. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the white cliffs of Provence beautifully.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinted peaks of northern Morocco visible shortly after takeoff from Fes.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy stretches of the Spanish coast near Alicante and Benidorm as the plane crosses the Mediterranean.
Ebro Delta
The distinct bird-beak shaped wetland where the Ebro river meets the Mediterranean in Catalonia.
Barcelona Skyline
On clear days, the urban grid of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Família are visible from the sea.
Pyrenees Ranges
The snow-capped peaks of the border between Spain and France visible in the distant northwest.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Spanish littoral. To see the Ebro Delta clearly, aim for a midday flight to avoid direct sun glare from the south. This side is also better if the flight path takes a more inland route over Spain.
