LYSAGA

Which side of the plane to sit from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (Lyon) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the major mountain ranges including the Pyrenees and the High Atlas, along with the most iconic landmarks like the Rock of Gibraltar.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

French Alps Horizon

Shortly after takeoff, enjoy distant views of the snow-capped Alps and the Rhone Valley.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the rugged mountain border between France and Spain.

🏰

Castilian Plateau

Aerial views of the historic Spanish heartland and the sprawling suburbs of Madrid.

🚢

Strait of Gibraltar

The strategic crossing point where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, featuring the Rock of Gibraltar.

🏔️

High Atlas Mountains

Dramatic, often snow-dusted peaks that dominate the Moroccan interior landscape.

🏜️

Souss Valley

The fertile basin filled with argan and olive trees leading into the Agadir region.

Sit behind the wing to capture the contrast between the European green and African ochre landscapes. On morning flights, the light illuminates the Atlas Mountains perfectly. In winter, look for the sharp white contrast of the snow-capped peaks against the desert sky.

🌋

Massif Central

Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes of south-central France.

🌊

Costa de la Luz

The beautiful golden beaches of southwestern Spain near the Gulf of Cadiz.

🏙️

Casablanca Coastline

🏖️

Atlantic Cliffs

Rugged coastal cliffs and secret coves along the Moroccan Atlantic wall.

🌅

Ocean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic, perfect for observing sea traffic.

This side is ideal for evening flights to catch a stunning sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep your camera ready during the final approach, as the plane often banks over the ocean, providing a wide-angle view of the Agadir beach strip and the 'Agadir Oufella' hilltop.
