Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline, including the rugged cliffs of Brittany, the beautiful Portuguese shore, and a stunning ocean-side approach into Casablanca.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue ocean vistas as you cross from the French coast toward Spain.
Portuguese Riviera
The dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches near Ericeira and Peniche.
Tagus Estuary
A distant view of Lisbon and the massive Vasco da Gama Bridge.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Cargo ships and tankers queuing for entry into the Mediterranean near the Strait of Gibraltar.
Hassan II Mosque
The iconic minaret and coastal setting of Casablanca's landmark during final approach.
The right side is the scenic winner for coastal lovers. Afternoon flights provide incredible golden light over the Atlantic Ocean. Be sure to look out for the Hassan II Mosque during the descent, as it is one of the world's tallest religious structures and sits right on the water's edge.
London Landmarks
Aerial views of the Thames and London's urban sprawl shortly after takeoff.
Windsor Castle
Spot the historic royal residence located just west of Heathrow Airport.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The lush green patterns of the famous French wine regions as you cross the mainland.
Spanish Sierras
The inland mountain ranges of Extremadura and Western Spain.
Moroccan Plains
The fertile agricultural basins of northern Morocco leading into Casablanca.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting inland landmarks and the vast contrast between the green European landscapes and the reddish-brown Moroccan soil. On departure, if the wind is from the east, you may get a clear view of central London.
