Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean views, the right side is superior for its proximity to the iconic red cliffs of the French Riviera during departure and the unparalleled view of Constantine's dramatic gorges and suspension bridges upon arrival.

Massif de l'Estérel
The striking contrast of bright red volcanic rocks against the turquoise water near Cannes.
Lérins Islands
The two historic islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat sitting just off the coast of Antibes.
Taza National Park
The dramatic, cliff-lined coast of Jijel, featuring some of the most rugged terrain in North Africa.
Constantine Bridges
The legendary suspension bridges, including Sidi M'Cid, spanning the deep Rhumel River gorge.
High Plateaus
The golden agricultural plains surrounding Constantine that change color dramatically with the seasons.
The right side is essential for the approach into Constantine; the city is built on a plateau split by a deep ravine, and this side typically offers the best angle of the 'City of Bridges.' For the departure from Nice, ensure your window is clean to capture the red rocks of the Estérel. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful golden hour lighting on the Algerian mountains.

Nice Promenade des Anglais
An immediate aerial view of the famous curved coastline of Nice and the historic Old Town.
Corsican Silhouette
On clear days, the rugged peaks of northern Corsica are visible across the Mediterranean expanse.
Gulf of Skikda
The point where the deep blue Mediterranean meets the industrial yet scenic Algerian coastline.
Djebel Edough
Lush, forested mountain ranges of the Tell Atlas appearing as you approach the African continent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over the sea. This side also offers the best view of the Nice harbor and the start of the Alps if the plane makes a sharp turn after takeoff. Watch for the change in water color from deep sapphire to turquoise as you cross the Algerian shelf.
