Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Mohammed V International Airport (Casablanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal journey along the French Riviera and Spanish Mediterranean, culminating in a clear crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Cรดte d'Azur
A stunning view of the French Riviera, including Monaco, Nice, and Cannes shortly after takeoff.
Barcelona Coastline
The iconic grid layout and beaches of the Catalan capital are often visible from the air.
Sierra Nevada
The high, often snow-capped peaks of Southern Spain provide a dramatic backdrop to the coast.
Strait of Gibraltar
The legendary 'Pillars of Hercules' where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Rabat Shoreline
The capital city of Morocco and its historic fortifications visible during the final leg of the flight.
The right side is the definitive choice for landscape photographers. Try to secure a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Rock of Gibraltar, which usually appears about 30 to 40 minutes before landing. Sunset flights offer a magnificent 'Golden Hour' view over the Atlantic as you track the Moroccan coastline.
Ligurian Sea
Vibrant blue waters immediately following departure from Milan.
Balearic Islands
Distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Formentera emerging from the Mediterranean.
Middle Atlas Mountains
The rugged, arid peaks of the Atlas range during the descent into Morocco.
Casablanca Suburbs
The sprawling white architecture of the Moroccan metropolis on final approach.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep binoculars ready for spotting the Balearic Islands mid-flight. During the winter months, the Atlas Mountains on this side may show a light dusting of snow during your descent.
