The Swiss Alps
Glittering snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys visible as the flight heads south through European airspace.
Balearic Sea Islands
Clear views of the Mediterranean coastline and occasionally the islands of Mallorca or Menorca in the distance.
Alboran Sea
The deep azure waters of the western Mediterranean as the aircraft prepares for its African descent.
Mar Chica
The iconic salt-water lagoon of Nador, providing a unique emerald and blue landscape just before landing.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, dramatic limestone ridges of northern Morocco rising up to meet the coastline.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides the best angle for photographing the Mar Chica lagoon, which is the most distinctive geographic feature near Nador International Airport. Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine glaciers.

The winding path of the Rhône river and the patchwork of famous French vineyards.

Melilla Enclave
The unique Spanish autonomous city bordering Nador, visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.
Iberian Horizon
Beautiful silhouettes of the Spanish mainland, especially during evening flights as the sun sets over the peninsula.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the Spanish coast.
