Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain, and the rugged Rif range in northern Morocco.
Black Forest
Observe the dense evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany shortly after departing Frankfurt.
French Alps
Visible in the distance to the east, the snow-covered peaks of the Western Alps offer a stunning horizon over France.
Costa del Sol
View the sparkling Mediterranean coastline and famous resort towns as the flight traverses southern Andalusia.
Sierra Nevada
A spectacular view of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often capped with snow throughout the year.
Rock of Gibraltar
The most iconic landmark of the trip, marking the narrow gateway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
Rif Mountains
Experience the dramatic transition into Africa with the rugged, green-hued mountain ranges of northern Morocco.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views. On morning flights, the sun will illuminate the Spanish coast and the Rock of Gibraltar perfectly. This side is essential for seeing the geographic 'pillars of Hercules' as you cross into African airspace.
Vosges Mountains
Look for the rounded peaks and deep green valleys of eastern France early in the journey.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of central France.
Pyrenees Range
A magnificent crossing of the high-altitude natural border between France and Spain.
Madrid
Look out for the sprawling urban grid of the Spanish capital located on the high Meseta Central.
Atlantic Ocean
Vast blue horizons as the plane tracks the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula towards the coast of Africa.
Rabat Cityscape
During the descent into Casablanca, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Moroccan capital and the Bou Regreg river.
Evening travelers should choose this side to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. It also offers the best views of the Pyrenees when crossing the French-Spanish border and a scenic coastal perspective of Rabat and Casablanca during the final landing phase.
