Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic transitions, including the crossing of the Mediterranean, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, and the high peaks of the Pyrenees.
Mediterranean Crossing
Spectacular views of the Alboran Sea as you transition from the African continent to the Iberian Peninsula.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacén, which often remain snow-capped well into the summer months.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the jagged mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
The rugged, volcanic landscape of south-central France, featuring rounded peaks known as 'puys'.
Rhine River
The iconic industrial and scenic artery of Europe, visible as the aircraft aligns for its approach into Weeze.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best photos of the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of the Massif Central volcanoes.
Fes Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the ancient Fes el Bali medina and the surrounding Saïss plain immediately after takeoff.
Castilian Meseta
The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain, characterized by unique reddish soil and geometric agricultural patterns.
Loire Valley
Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the verdant landscapes of central France, famous for historic chateaus.
Paris Basin
The dense urban sprawl and infrastructure of northern France as the flight heads toward the Benelux region.
Low Countries
The intricate patchwork of fields and canals in Belgium and the southern Netherlands during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best view of Fes during departure. This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while observing the French countryside. Keep an eye out for the distant Atlantic horizon when flying over western France.
