LUX → RAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg) to Menara Airport (Marrakech)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Mediterranean entrance at Gibraltar and an unparalleled view of the High Atlas Mountains during the final descent into Marrakech.
Massif Central
Cross over the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of central France shortly after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
Aerial views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees range forming a natural border between France and Spain.
Rock of Gibraltar
Witness the iconic limestone monolith and the meeting point of the Mediterranean and Atlantic.
Chefchaouen Region
Views of the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco, known for its dramatic topography.
High Atlas Range
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks that provide a stunning backdrop for the approach into Menara Airport.
Book a seat on the left (port) side for the most iconic landmarks. During the final 20 minutes of flight, the High Atlas Mountains appear prominently; afternoon flights offer the best 'golden hour' lighting on these peaks. Ensure your window is clean for photos of Gibraltar.
Bordeaux & Aquitaine
View the sprawling vineyards and river networks of southwestern France.
Bay of Biscay Coast
The transition from the French coastline to the rugged Basque Country of northern Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high altitude plains of central Spain, featuring vast agricultural patterns and arid landscapes.
Atlantic Ocean Entrance
The western side of the Strait of Gibraltar, looking out toward the vast Atlantic horizon.
Moroccan Coastline
Distant views of the Atlantic coastal cities like Rabat and Casablanca during the southbound transit.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer sunset views when flying in the late afternoon. It offers a better sense of the scale of the Atlantic Ocean. While it misses the high mountain peaks on arrival, it provides a clearer view of the vast Moroccan plains and the coastal approach path.
