Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Zenata – Messali El Hadj Airport (Tlemcen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the unique landscapes of the Camargue delta and a front-row seat to the Balearic Islands (Mallorca and Ibiza) during the mid-flight transit.
The Camargue
Observe the vast wetlands and pink-hued salt pans of the Rhône delta shortly after departure.
Mallorca
Direct views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the sprawling Bay of Palma from high altitude.
Ibiza and Formentera
The silhouettes of the Pityusic Islands are clearly visible as the flight tracks south-southwest.
Alboran Sea
Watch for massive cargo ships and ferries navigating the busy maritime corridors between Europe and Africa.
Algerian Littoral
Stunning views of the cliffs and beaches near Ghazaouet as the plane crosses the African coastline.
The right side is ideal for island spotting, particularly the Balearics. To maximize the view, sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward angle for the islands. For evening departures, this side offers a magnificent sunset over the Mediterranean and the North African coast.
Marseille Downtown
View the iconic Vieux Port and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde immediately after takeoff.
Calanques National Park
Look for the dramatic white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets stretching toward Cassis.
Oran Skyline
Catch distant views of Algeria's major port city and the Santa Cruz fort on the horizon.
Tell Atlas Mountains
Enjoy views of the rugged, green-sloped mountain ranges as the plane begins its final descent.
Choose the left side for the best departure views of Marseille's urban architecture. On the approach to Tlemcen, this side provides better views of the inland mountain terrain. It is also the shaded side for afternoon flights, which helps reduce window glare for photography.
