Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Pyrenees mountain range and the rugged Spanish coastline before crossing the Mediterranean toward Africa.
Pyrenees Mountains
Breathtaking views of the high peaks and snow-capped ridges shortly after takeoff.
Costa Brava
The rugged northeastern coast of Spain and the Mediterranean shoreline of Catalonia.
Mitidja Plain
The fertile green agricultural belt surrounding Algiers visible during the descent.
Atlas Mountains
The rising foothills of the Tell Atlas range visible in the distance behind the city.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the Pyrenees crossing happens within the first 20 minutes of flight. Afternoon travelers should be aware of potential glare, but will be rewarded with golden hour views of the Algerian landscape as they land.
Gulf of Lion
Panoramic views of the deep blue Mediterranean as you depart the French coast.
Balearic Islands
On clear days, the silhouettes of Menorca and Mallorca may appear on the horizon.
Bay of Algiers
A stunning perspective of the 'White City' curving around the Mediterranean bay.
Port of Algiers
View of the bustling maritime activity and the historic Casbah during final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft light hitting the Algerian coastline. This side is superior for seeing the urban sprawl of Algiers if the aircraft performs a standard approach from the east.
