LGW → AGA
Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the European landmass and the dramatic High Atlas Mountains during the descent into Morocco.
English Channel & Brittany
After departing LGW, view the crossing into the rugged coastline of northwestern France.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant views of Lisbon and the Tagus River estuary as you fly south over the Iberian Peninsula.
Algarve Region
Stunning views of the golden cliffs and turquoise waters of Southern Portugal before the ocean crossing.
High Atlas Mountains
The peak scenic moment where snow-capped Moroccan mountains rise above the clouds during descent.
Anti-Atlas Arid Valleys
The stark transition from fertile plains to the red-tinted desert landscapes surrounding Agadir.
For morning flights, the left side provides the best lighting for photography without glare. The highlight is the final 20 minutes of the flight; ensure your window shade is up as you pass the Atlas range, as the contrast between the peaks and the Souss Valley is spectacular. If traveling in winter, look for snow on the High Atlas peaks to the east.
Isle of Wight
Shortly after takeoff, look for the distinct diamond shape of the island off the UK south coast.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep Atlantic and major shipping lanes between France and Spain.
Galician Rias
The jagged, fjord-like coastline of Northwest Spain visible on clear western flight paths.
Atlantic Sunset
On evening flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the ocean.
Taghazout Coast
As you approach Agadir, see the famous surf breaks and white-washed villages along the shore.
Select this side for late afternoon or evening departures to witness a full sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. While it offers more 'blue' views than 'land' views for the middle portion of the flight, the approach into Agadir provides a great perspective of the Moroccan coastline and the Atlantic breakers hitting the cliffs near Taghazout.
