NTEFEZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Saïss Airport (Fes)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent perspective of the Atlantic coastline, the crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar with views of Tangier, and the scenic descent over the green foothills of northern Morocco.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Vendée Coastline

Stunning views of the sandy beaches of western France as you head south over the Atlantic.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Deep blue oceanic vistas with frequent sightings of cargo ships entering European waters.

🌅

Costa de la Luz

The brilliant white sands and turquoise waters of the Spanish coast near Huelva and Cadiz.

🌍

Strait of Gibraltar

The breathtaking moment the European and African continents appear just miles apart.

🏙️

Tangier City

The bustling white city of Tangier and its port at the gateway to the African continent.

🏞️

Zerhoun Massif

The fertile, rolling hills and olive groves surrounding the holy town of Moulay Idriss.

The right side is unbeatable for coastal scenery. You get the best view of the Atlantic meeting the Mediterranean. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Moroccan coast in vibrant detail as you cross into Africa.

🏰

Nantes & Loire River

Aerial view of the 'City of Dukes' and the winding Loire river immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Sistema Central

The snow-capped peaks of the Guadarrama mountain range while cruising over central Spain.

🪨

Rock of Gibraltar

🕌

Fes el Bali

Sit on the left for the best views of the high Spanish sierras and the famous Rock of Gibraltar. For afternoon flights, this side is preferable as you avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the opposite side of the aircraft.
