OUD → BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Angads Airport (Oujda) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees and frequently offers distant views of the Paris skyline and the historic Loire Valley as you head north.
Alboran Sea
The sparkling transition from the Moroccan coast into the Mediterranean Sea.
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the high-altitude snow-capped peaks along the Spanish-French border.
Loire Valley
Look for the winding Loire River and the dense clusters of historic French chateaux.
Paris Metropolitan Area
On typical flight paths, the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris are visible to the west.
Mons and Charleroi
The industrial heritage and urban centers of southern Belgium during the initial descent.
Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, giving the left side perfectly lit landscapes without glare. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes before landing for the best French landmarks.
Costa Blanca & Valencia
The glittering resorts and white sandy stretches of the eastern Spanish coastline.
Barcelona & Port
A glimpse of the dense urban grid and the busy maritime traffic of Catalonia's capital.
Gulf of Lion
The wide, curved coastline of southern France where the Rhone meets the sea.
Massif Central
The rugged, ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of south-central France.
The Ardennes
The rolling green hills and dense forests of the Belgian border region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the golden hour over the Mediterranean. During descent into BRU, you may see the outskirts of Leuven and the lush Sonian Forest. Watch for the Balearic Islands appearing as distant shapes on the horizon shortly after takeoff.
