ORYOUD

Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Angads Airport (Oujda)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the snow-capped Pyrenees when crossing into Spain and provides a better angle of the rugged Rif mountains during the final descent into Oujda.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Palace of Versailles

Aerial view of the massive gardens and historic estate west of the flight path during departure.

🏔️

High Pyrenees

Spectacular snow-covered peaks during the border crossing from France into Spain.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

Stark, beautiful arid landscapes and rust-colored plateaus of the Iberian interior.

⛰️

Rif Mountains

Dramatic rugged terrain of northern Morocco as the plane descends toward Angads Airport.

🌅

Iberian Sunset

Stunning golden hour light over the Spanish horizon on late afternoon or evening flights.

Book a late afternoon flight for spectacular sunsets over the Spanish horizon. Look out for the Pyrenees roughly 50 minutes after takeoff. On the final approach into OUD, the right side usually faces the more dramatic mountain ridges near the Algerian border.

Left Side Highlights

🗼

Paris Cityscape

Iconic views of the Seine and urban sprawl shortly after takeoff from Orly airport.

🏔️

Massif Central

Distant volcanic highlands of central France visible during the first half of the flight.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

A glimpse of the Spanish coastline and the turquoise waters before the sea crossing.

🚢

Mediterranean Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue waters transitioning to the North African coast.

Morning flights provide the best illumination for the French countryside and the Mediterranean coast without direct sun glare. Seats in front of the wing (rows 5-10) offer the best downward visibility for coastline spotting as you approach Africa.
