MUCCMN

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it offers iconic views of the Central Swiss Alps, the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, and the dramatic crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Look for the world-famous trio of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you transit Swiss airspace.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

Spot the Sagrada Família and the unique Eixample grid pattern if the flight path hugs the Spanish coast.

🇬🇮

Rock of Gibraltar

A highlight of the flight: see the distinct limestone monolith and the narrow strait separating Europe from Africa.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Enjoy the dramatic meeting of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the Moroccan shores during the descent into CMN.

The right side is the best choice for midday and afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. For the best photos of the Rock of Gibraltar, keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes before landing. This side also provides a better angle for seeing the diverse terrain of the Iberian Peninsula's eastern edge.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Bavarian and Austrian Alps

Immediately after takeoff, witness the northern wall of the Alps including the Karwendel and Wetterstein ranges.

🏖️

French Riviera

Panoramic views of the Côte d'Azur, including the luxury coastline of Nice, Cannes, and St. Tropez.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

Aerial perspectives of Mallorca and Ibiza's turquoise bays as the flight crosses the Balearic Sea.

🕌

Rabat Urban Scrawl

The administrative capital of Morocco is visible on the final approach, showing the Bou Regreg river and the Atlantic coast.

Choose the left side for morning flights if you want to see the sunrise over the Alps, though be prepared for significant sun glare for the remainder of the journey. In winter, this side offers the best views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance to the south upon entering Moroccan airspace.
