Which side of the plane to sit from Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni) to Ivato Airport (Antananarivo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Madagascar coastline and the iconic red Betsiboka River delta, along with the scenic highland terraces upon approach.
Search flights from HAH to TNR
Mount Karthala
One of the world's most active volcanoes, visible on Grande Comore immediately after takeoff from HAH.
Bombetoka Bay
A stunning entry point to Madagascar where the sea meets the massive, silt-heavy river mouth.
Betsiboka River
Known as the 'Red River' due to heavy soil erosion, creating a striking contrast with the green landscape.
Highland Rice Paddies
Intricate terraced agriculture characteristic of the Merina people in the central plateau.
Antananarivo Outskirts
The dense, colorful brick houses of the capital sprawling across the twelve sacred hills.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Comorian coastline upon departure. During the mid-flight crossing of the Mozambique Channel, watch for small coral atolls. The highlight is the Madagascar landfall near Mahajanga; aim for a morning flight to avoid the heat haze that often obscures the red rivers in the afternoon.

Moroni Skyline
Aerial view of the Comorian capital including the Friday Mosque and the old port area.
Mozambique Channel
Expansive views of the deep blue channel often dotted with local dhows and cargo ships.
Bongolava Range
The rugged mountains and plateaus that separate the western plains from the central highlands.
Lake Itasy Region
A volcanic area with crater lakes and rolling hills visible shortly before landing in Ivato.
Ivato Basin
The flat marshlands and plains surrounding the airport as the plane descends for landing.
The right side provides a great view of Moroni city during the climb out. It is also excellent for observing the vast, sparsely populated western wilderness of Madagascar. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from the Mozambique Channel during midday flights. If landing from the North, you'll see more of the rural highland landscapes on this side.
