Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean views, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Algerian coastline and the spectacular cliff-side approach into Constantine, the 'City of Bridges'.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Gulf of Lion

Panoramic views of the vast Mediterranean expanse as the aircraft leaves French airspace.

🏖️

Bejaïa Coastline

Stunning views of the 'Corniche Kabyle' where the mountains meet the sea in steep cliffs.

🌲

Little Kabylie

Lush, forested mountain landscapes that define the geography of Northern Algeria.

🌉

Rhumel River Gorge

The breathtaking deep limestone canyon that cuts through the heart of Constantine.

🏛️

Constantine Bridges

Look for the iconic Sidi M'Cid and El Kantara bridges spanning the deep gorges during final approach.

The right side is essential for the final approach into Constantine. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the city's unique cliffside architecture. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting on the limestone gorges.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Calanques National Park

Aerial view of the stunning limestone cliffs and turquoise coves just south of Marseille.

🏝️

Îles d'Hyères

Distant sightings of Porquerolles and Port-Cros islands off the coast of the French Riviera.

🗺️

Sardinian Horizon

On clear days, the rugged northern silhouette of Sardinia may be visible across the Mediterranean.

⛰️

Tell Atlas Range

The dramatic transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the rugged peaks of northeastern Algeria.

🏗️

Skikda Port

Industrial and maritime views of one of Algeria's major northern ports during the descent.

Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French coastline and the Algerian mountains without glare. Keep an eye out early for the deep blue hues of the Mediterranean shelf.
