Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine)?
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'.
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.
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.
