LIL → OUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille) to Angads Airport (Oujda)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the lush landscapes of central France to the sparkling Mediterranean coast of Spain and the rugged peaks of the Rif Mountains in Morocco.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic chains and rugged plateaus of central France shortly after departure.
Eastern Pyrenees
The plane crosses the high-altitude border between France and Spain, offering views of jagged, often snow-capped peaks.
Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Look down upon the turquoise waters and dense coastal developments of the Costa Blanca and Costa de Azahar.
Alboran Sea
The final water crossing where the deep blue of the Mediterranean meets the North African coastline.
Rif Mountains
Observe the stark, reddish-brown ridges of the Rif range as you begin your final descent into Oujda.
For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a sunshade. The left side is particularly stunning during the descent into Angads Airport, as the orientation usually provides a clear view of the border region between Morocco and Algeria.
Parisian Basin
On clear days, the western outskirts of Paris and the winding Seine River can be spotted in the distance.
Central Pyrenees
A view of the highest mountain tops of the range, including the Aneto peak if the flight path is slightly west.
Spanish Meseta
The high, arid central plateau of Spain provides a beautiful patchwork of ochre and brown agricultural fields.
Oujda City Center
During the landing pattern, the urban sprawl and minarets of Oujda are often visible to the west.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Spanish interior without direct glare. It offers a more expansive view of the Iberian Peninsula's vast, dry landscapes before the final approach.
