TNR → HAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Ivato Airport (Antananarivo) to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it offers a spectacular view of Mount Karthala, the massive active shield volcano, during the approach into Moroni, as well as expansive views of the Madagascar highlands and the final descent over the turquoise Comorian reefs.
Search flights from TNR to HAH
Central Plateaus
Panoramic views of Madagascar’s high-altitude terraced rice fields and unique architecture of the Merina people.
Northern Highlands
Distant views of the Tsaratanana Massif, home to Madagascar's highest peaks, visible on clear days.
Mount Karthala
An incredible close-up of one of the world's largest active volcanoes, often puffing steam from its massive caldera.
Moroni Harbor
Aerial view of the ancient capital, featuring the iconic white Friday Mosque and the old Arab quarter (Medina).
Grand Comore Reefs
Breathtaking turquoise coral fringes contrasting sharply against the black volcanic rock of the island's coastline.
The right side is essential for the approach into HAH. If the flight lands from the south, you will get a front-row seat to the massive scale of Mt. Karthala. For the best lighting on the volcano, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the dramatic coastal transition.

Bongolava Range
View the rugged red-clay hills and deep erosion gullies characteristic of Madagascar's central highlands.
Betsiboka Estuary
Observe the striking 'bleeding' effect where iron-rich red silt flows into the Mozambique Channel near Mahajanga.
Comoros Archipelago
Distant sightings of the lush, green islands of Mohéli and Anjouan as the plane crosses the Mozambique Channel.
Boeny Coastline
Detailed views of the northwestern Malagasy coast featuring intricate mangrove systems and secluded white sand coves.
Mozambique Channel
Deep azure waters often dotted with traditional dhows and occasionally migrating humpback whales during winter months.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is better for observing the unique 'red islands' effect of Madagascar's soil runoff into the ocean. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the channel.
