Which side of the plane to sit from Nador International Airport (El Aroui) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Mediterranean coast, the most dramatic peaks of the Pyrenees, and a distant but striking view of the French Alps before crossing the Rhine.
Alboran Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean waters with occasional views of cargo ships entering the Strait of Gibraltar.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and coastal mountain ranges of eastern Spain.
Central Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the range, often snow-capped even in late spring.
The Alps
On clear days, the French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible on the eastern horizon.
Black Forest
The dense evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the flight enters German airspace.
Rhine River
The iconic European waterway with its steep banks and historic castle ruins near the destination.
The right side is ideal for morning flights for the best lighting on the Alps. Keep your camera ready approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the scenic highlight of the route.
Melilla Coastline
Aerial view of the Spanish enclave and the rugged Cape Three Forks immediately after takeoff.
Meseta Central
The vast, reddish-brown plateaus of inner Spain stretching towards the western horizon.
Western Pyrenees
The jagged transition from the Spanish plains into the lush green French valleys.
Central France
A tapestry of forests, rivers, and small villages characteristic of the Limousin and Berry regions.
Moselle Valley
Terraced vineyards and winding river loops visible during the final descent into Hahn.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a great perspective of the Spanish interior and the rural heart of France. Watch for the lights of Madrid in the far distance if flying at night.
