TNG → BVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an iconic departure view of the Rock of Gibraltar and a chance to see the Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower, during the descent into Beauvais.
Rock of Gibraltar
A spectacular view of the famous limestone monolith and the narrow strait separating Africa from Europe immediately after departure.
Seville & Guadalquivir
View the winding Guadalquivir River and the historic urban sprawl of Andalusia's capital city.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The high peaks of the Spanish Central System, often snow-capped in winter, provide a dramatic contrast to the plains below.
Loire Valley
As the flight crosses central France, the winding Loire River and its famous chateaux can be spotted through the clouds.
Paris Skyline
On clear days during the descent into BVA, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible to the southeast.
This is the premier side for this route. For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. The Rock of Gibraltar appears very quickly after takeoff from TNG, so stay alert. During the arrival into BVA, the pilot often follows a flight path that places the Paris skyline on your right side for several minutes.
Atlantic Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged Moroccan and Spanish coastlines meeting the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Extremadura Plains
Vast, undulating landscapes of western Spain characterized by golden fields and large blue reservoir systems.
Gulf of Morbihan
As you enter French airspace, the jagged coastline of southern Brittany and its numerous islands are often visible.
Normandy Coast
During the final approach phase, the beautiful beaches and white cliffs of the Upper Normandy region appear to the west.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the vastness of the ocean and the western Spanish plains. For early morning flights, the lighting on the Atlantic side is softer and better for photography. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct bocage landscape of the Picardy region.
