Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Balearic Islands mid-flight and provides a wider panoramic view of the Algerian coastline and the dramatic Cape Tenes during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
πŸŒ…

Golfe du Lion

The wide crescent of the French Mediterranean coast stretching toward the Spanish border.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

On clear days, Menorca and Mallorca are frequently visible as the flight path passes to their east.

🌊

Cape Tenes

A striking geographic feature where the Algerian mountains meet the Mediterranean with steep cliffs.

🚜

Algerian Farmlands

The mosaic of fields and rural settlements characterizing the Chlef Province as you approach the airport.

πŸŒ„

Ouarsenis Massif

The high peaks of the Tell Atlas visible in the distance to the south during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Balearic Islands roughly 30 to 45 minutes into the flight. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, offering better conditions for photography of the Algerian coastline. Look for the distinct change in water color near the mouth of the Chelif River.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Marseille Calanques

Dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise inlets of the Parc National des Calanques just after takeoff.

🏝️

Frioul Archipelago

A group of four islands including the historic ChΓ’teau d'If visible shortly after departing Marseille.

🚒

Mediterranean Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue sea, often dotted with cargo ships on the major trade routes between Europe and Africa.

⛰️

Dahra Mountains

The rugged northern Algerian mountain range that runs parallel to the coast, seen during the initial descent.

🌾

Chelif River Valley

The fertile basin around Ech-cheliff, showing the transition from mountain terrain to agricultural plains.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Marseille shoreline upon takeoff. During the descent into CFK, the left side provides a closer look at the intricate textures of the Dahra mountain ridges. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the sun.
