RAK β BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Menara Airport (Marrakech) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for key landmarks including the Strait of Gibraltar, the dramatic Picos de Europa mountains in Spain, and the iconic Jurassic Coast of Southern England before landing.
Strait of Gibraltar
A world-class view of the narrow passage between Africa and Europe, often seeing the Rock of Gibraltar.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, sun-drenched central plateau of the Iberian Peninsula with its golden fields.
Picos de Europa
Jagged, snow-capped limestone peaks in Northern Spain that provide a dramatic vertical contrast.
Bay of Biscay
A long crossing over deep blue waters, often seeing large cargo ships and tankers below.
Jurassic Coast
UNESCO World Heritage site featuring fossil-rich cliffs and Chesil Beach as you enter UK airspace.
Severn Estuary
Views of the massive Severn Bridges connecting England and Wales just before touchdown.
The Strait of Gibraltar appears roughly 25-35 minutes after takeoff; keep your camera ready. On clear days, the limestone peaks of the Picos de Europa in Spain are a highlight midway through the flight. During the descent into Bristol, look for the distinct curve of Chesil Beach and the rolling Mendip Hills.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Stunning views of the rugged coastline stretching North towards Casablanca and Rabat.
Gulf of CΓ‘diz
Expansive views of the Atlantic where the Mediterranean meets the ocean.
Galician Coast
Deep inlets and rocky shorelines of Northwest Spain visible during specific flight paths.
Cornish Cliffs
The dramatic first sight of the United Kingdom, featuring Land's End and the St Ives bay.
Sit on the left if you are flying during sunset to catch the sun dipping below the Atlantic horizon. Early in the flight, watch for the sprawling urban landscape of Casablanca. As you approach Bristol, you may see the Lundy Island if the pilot takes a westerly approach.
