Which side of the plane to sit from Roland Garros Airport (St.-denis) to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it tracks the volcanic spine of Reunion Island during departure and offers views of the Madagascar coastline and Mount Karthala on arrival.

Piton des Neiges
Dramatic views of the Indian Ocean's highest peak shortly after takeoff from Saint-Denis.
Reunion Cirques
Aerial perspective of the UNESCO-listed Mafate and Salazie calderas during the initial climb.
Northern Madagascar
Distant views of the rugged coastline near Antsiranana (Diego Suarez) halfway through the flight.
Mayotte Archipelago
Spot the coral reefs and lagoon surrounding Mayotte appearing as a gem in the Mozambique Channel.
Mount Karthala
The massive shield volcano of Grande Comore dominates the view during the final descent into Moroni.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Reunion's interior. On the approach to Moroni, the left side typically faces the island's interior, providing a stunning look at the volcanic terrain. For morning flights, this side will have better lighting as the sun is behind or above the aircraft.

Indian Ocean Expanse
Endless views of the deep blue tropical waters between the Mascarene and Comoros islands.
Saint-Denis Coastline
A brief view of the Reunion capital and the coastal highway immediately after rotation.
Glorioso Islands
In very clear weather, these remote French atolls may be visible as tiny white specks to the north.
The right side is generally less scenic for this route as it faces the open ocean for the majority of the flight. However, it is the better choice if you want to avoid direct sunlight during afternoon flights, as the sun will be positioned to the south (left side) of the aircraft's path.
