Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the lush Brazilian coastline upon departure and the dramatic meeting of the Sahara Desert with the Atlantic Ocean during the arrival into Morocco.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Brazilian Riviera

Stunning vistas of the Costa Verde's emerald forests and white sand beaches shortly after takeoff from Sao Paulo.

🏜️

Saharan Coastline

The spectacular sight of golden Western Sahara dunes meeting the Atlantic surf as the flight reaches the African continent.

⛰️

Atlas Foothills

Distinguishing the rugged silhouettes of the Moroccan mountain ranges appearing on the eastern horizon during descent.

🏗️

Casablanca Sprawl

Aerial views of the white-walled architecture and the sprawling urban layout of Morocco's economic capital.

Book a daytime flight to witness the stark contrast of the Sahara Desert meeting the sea. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the coastline isn't obstructed. On the approach to CMN, the right side typically provides a better perspective of the inland terrain and the transition from desert to the fertile plains surrounding the city.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Sao Paulo Skyline

Expansive views of the massive urban landscape and skyscrapers during the initial climb out of GRU.

🌊

Atlantic Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue ocean, perfect for observing cloud architecture and the horizon.

☁️

Weather Formations

Witness massive thunderhead formations and dramatic patterns while crossing the Intertropical Convergence Zone.

Choose the left side for night flights to enjoy clear views of the stars without interference from the sun. On approach to Casablanca, this side looks out toward the open sea, which is tranquil but offers fewer landmarks than the landward side.
