MANAGA

Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Al Massira Airport (Agadir)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers unparalleled views of the Atlantic coastline, including the rugged shores of Brittany, the cliffs of Portugal, and the iconic crescent bay of Agadir during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Brittany Peninsula

The jagged and dramatic coastline of Northwest France, featuring hidden coves and small islands.

🏖️

Portuguese Riviera

Stunning views of the Atlantic-facing beaches of Porto and Lisbon, often seeing the Tagus River meeting the ocean.

⚓

Cape St. Vincent

The southwesternmost point of mainland Europe, marked by a historic lighthouse and towering sea cliffs.

🏝️

Agadir Oufella

The 16th-century kasbah ruins overlooking the city and the entire sweeping curve of the Agadir beachfront just before landing.

The right side is superior for sunset flights, offering spectacular golden hour views over the Atlantic. During the descent into Agadir, this side usually provides the iconic view of the 'Agadir Oufella' sign on the mountain. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns for its final approach over the ocean.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Peak District National Park

Visible shortly after takeoff from Manchester, offering views of the rolling hills and reservoirs of Northern England.

🍷

Bordeaux Wine Region

As the flight crosses Western France, look inland to see the vast vineyards and the Garonne river winding through the landscape.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Distant but impressive views of the limestone peaks in Northern Spain as the aircraft bypasses the Bay of Biscay.

🏜️

Anti-Atlas Mountains

Stark, ancient rock formations and desert valleys visible during the descent into Southern Morocco.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the inland Moroccan terrain and the distant, often snow-capped High Atlas mountains during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
