TNG โ CRL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibn Batouta Airport (Tanger) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a direct view of the Rock of Gibraltar immediately after takeoff and a superior angle of the high Pyrenees mountain range.
Rock of Gibraltar
A spectacular view of the famous limestone monolith and the strategic entrance to the Mediterranean.
Madrid Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of the Cuatro Torres Business Area are visible as you pass the Spanish capital's eastern side.
Pyrenees Mountains
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks of the border range, which remain snow-capped for much of the year.
Castilian Plateaus
The geometric patterns of the Spanish heartland, featuring golden wheat fields and traditional terracotta-roofed villages.
The primary highlight, the Rock of Gibraltar, occurs within the first 15 minutes of flight, so ensure your window shade is up early. Morning flights offer the crispest lighting for the Pyrenees, while winter travel provides the most dramatic snow-covered mountain scenery.
Cape Spartel
Panoramic views of the northwestern tip of Africa where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet.
Doรฑana National Park
An aerial perspective of the vast marshes and shifting sand dunes of this major Andalusian wetland.
Bay of Biscay
As the plane crosses Northern Spain, look out for the rugged Atlantic coastline and deep blue waters.
Loire River Valley
The winding silver thread of the Loire River and glimpses of historic French chateaux in the distance.
Choose this side on afternoon or evening flights to experience stunning sunset views over the Atlantic horizon. During departure from Tangier, this side offers the best look at the Moroccan coastline before heading north across the water.
