FEZ → STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Saïss Airport (Fes) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are scenic, the right side offers spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain and typically provides a more direct view of the London skyline and the Thames during the final approach to Stansted.
Sierra Nevada
Stunning views of Spain's highest peaks, which remain snow-capped well into the spring and summer.
Costa del Sol
The glittering Mediterranean coastline near Málaga is visible during the initial climb over the Alboran Sea.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Distant views of the Spanish capital's high-rise business districts during the transit over central Spain.
English Channel
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the White Cliffs of Dover as the plane crosses into England.
London City Skyline
On clear days and typical approach paths, you can see Canary Wharf, the Shard, and the Thames Estuary.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without the glare. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Sierra Nevada and the London approach isn't obstructed by the engine.
Rock of Gibraltar
Clear views of the iconic limestone monolith and the narrow strait separating Africa and Europe.
Seville
The sprawling historical capital of Andalusia is often visible as the plane tracks north through Spain.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain provide a dramatic backdrop before heading out over the sea.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, often showing deep blue waters and maritime traffic.
English Countryside
The patchwork green fields of Sussex and Kent as the flight enters UK airspace.
The left side is unbeatable for seeing the Rock of Gibraltar shortly after departure. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will catch the golden hour and sunset over the Atlantic, but be prepared for significant sun glare.
