Which side of the plane to sit from Menara Airport (Marrakech) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of iconic landmarks including the Rock of Gibraltar, major Spanish cities like Seville and Madrid, and the densely populated urban centers of Belgium and the Netherlands during the descent.
Rock of Gibraltar
A clear view of the iconic limestone monolith and the busy shipping lanes of the Algeciras Bay.
Seville
The historic Andalusian capital is often visible shortly after crossing into mainland Spain.
Sierra de Guadarrama
Rugged mountain peaks located just north of Madrid, often snow-capped in winter months.
Loire Valley
Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic châteaux dotting the French countryside.
Benelux Urban Core
Detailed views of Brussels and Antwerp as the aircraft begins its descent into the Eindhoven area.
The Right Side is preferred for landmark spotting. Look out for the Rock of Gibraltar roughly 45-60 minutes after departure. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Spanish and French landscapes perfectly.
Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Expansive views of the coastline stretching from Rabat up towards Tangier.
Cape Spartel
The northwesternmost point of mainland Africa where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Costa de la Luz
The bright, sandy beaches of the Huelva and Cádiz provinces in southwestern Spain.
Bordeaux Region
Aerial views of the Gironde estuary and the world-famous vineyards of southwestern France.
Zeeland Delta
The intricate network of islands and dams in the southwestern Netherlands during the final approach.
On the left, the glare from the Atlantic Ocean can be intense during afternoon flights; use a window shade or polarized sunglasses. This side is better if you prefer serene coastal vistas and marine landscapes over urban centers.
