FEZ → NTE
Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Rock of Gibraltar and the rugged, often snow-capped Picos de Europa mountain range in northern Spain.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, dramatic limestone peaks of northern Morocco shortly after takeoff from Fes.
Rock of Gibraltar
A clear view of the legendary monolith and the narrow strait separating Africa and Europe.
Picos de Europa
The sharp, high-altitude limestone spires of the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain.
Loire River Valley
The winding 'River of Kings' and its lush green surroundings on the final approach into Nantes.
Seville and Cordoba
The shimmering urban expanses of the Andalusian interior as you head north over Spain.
The crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar happens roughly 25-35 minutes after takeoff; have your camera ready as it is a brief but iconic window. For the best view of the Spanish mountains, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. The right side also typically provides a better view of Nantes city during the final landing pattern.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast Atlantic Ocean as the flight crosses the Gulf of Cádiz.
Costa de la Luz
The sandy shorelines of southwestern Spain and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River.
Saint-Nazaire Estuary
Aerial view of the massive bridge and shipyards where the Loire River meets the sea.
Evening Sunsets
Spectacular orange and purple hues over the ocean on late-day flight departures.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare, or to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. During the descent into Nantes, watch for the dramatic transition from the Bay of Biscay to the Breton coastline near the Loire estuary.
