Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the massive Karthala volcano on departure from Moroni and provides a more dramatic approach into Reunion, showcasing the island's rugged interior and active volcanic landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Karthala

The massive active shield volcano of Grand Comore, featuring one of the largest calderas in the world, visible shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Mayotte Archipelago

Potential distant views of the expansive coral lagoon and the distinctive silhouette of Mount Choungui.

⛰️

Tsaratanana Massif

The highest mountain range in Madagascar, including the peak of Maromokotro, visible as the flight crosses the northern part of the Red Island.

🏞️

Reunion Cirques

Breathtaking views of the lush, steep-walled amphitheaters of Salazie and Mafate during the descent.

🔥

Piton de la Fournaise

Reunion's active volcano may be visible on the horizon during the descent, depending on the specific approach path into Roland Garros.

The right side is superior for volcanic photography. For the best experience, book a morning flight as Reunion's interior often clouds over by midday. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Moroni for the best shots of the Karthala crater.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Grand Comore Coastline

Crystal clear turquoise waters and dark volcanic rock formations as you depart Prince Said Ibrahim International.

⚓

Baie de Diego-Suarez

One of the world's largest natural harbors located at the northern tip of Madagascar, featuring the iconic 'Sugar Loaf' rock.

🏙️

St-Denis Seafront

Clear views of the Barachois and the coastal highway of Reunion's capital during the final approach.

Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is also excellent for spotting the northernmost capes of Madagascar and the vast, deep blue of the Mascarene Basin.
