MRS → TNG
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of coastal landmarks, including the French Camargue, the Spanish Mediterranean coast, and a spectacular close-up view of the Rock of Gibraltar and the Strait during descent.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhône delta immediately after takeoff from Marseille.
Barcelona Cityscape
A stunning perspective of the Eixample grid and the Sagrada Família if the flight path follows the shoreline.
The Rock of Gibraltar
One of the most iconic landmarks in the world, clearly visible as you cross the Strait.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow bottleneck where Europe meets Africa, bustling with international shipping traffic.
Atlantic Horizon
The vast expanse where the Mediterranean ends and the Atlantic begins during the final turn to TNG.
The right side is the 'money' side for this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Gibraltar. For evening flights, you will witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic as you land in Tangier.
Balearic Islands
Distant but clear views of Ibiza and Mallorca rising from the Mediterranean blue.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic backdrop over Andalusia.
Alboran Sea
Deep azure waters where dolphins are sometimes visible from lower altitudes near the Moroccan coast.
Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinted limestone ranges of Northern Morocco appearing on the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the vastness of the Mediterranean and the high-altitude peaks of the Spanish interior. Keep an eye out for the coastal city of Almería.
