SVOCMN

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the sprawling European continent, potential views of the Alps, and a more dramatic approach over the Moroccan terrain.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Aerial views of the Russian capital's expansive suburbs and urban layout during departure from SVO.

🏔️

The Alps

On many flight paths, you can spot the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the European Alps to the south.

🌊

Mediterranean Coast

Glittering views of the French Riviera or the Spanish Balearic Sea as the plane traverses Southern Europe.

⛰️

Atlas Mountains

The rugged, reddish-brown peaks of the Middle Atlas range come into view during the descent into Morocco.

🚜

Moroccan Heartland

A patchwork of traditional agricultural fields and arid landscapes characteristic of North Africa.

The left side is south-facing on this southwest trajectory. Expect significant sunlight during the day; a window shade or sunglasses are recommended. This side is superior for sunrise views if taking an early flight. During landing at CMN, the left side often captures the city's outskirts and the Atlas foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Northern European Plains

Dense forests and structured farmland across Belarus, Poland, and Germany.

🗼

Western European Cities

Opportunities to spot major hubs like Paris or Bordeaux depending on the specific air traffic corridor.

⚓

Strait of Gibraltar

The iconic crossing point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean, separating Europe and Africa.

🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

The dramatic meeting of the deep blue Atlantic and the white-sand beaches of the Moroccan shore.

Choose the right side if you prefer softer lighting, as it faces away from the sun for most of the journey. This side provides the best view of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is a bucket-list geographic landmark. Watch for the change from European greenery to the deep blues of the Atlantic as you turn south toward Casablanca.
