Southern Tana Suburbs
Vibrant views of the Ikopa River and the surrounding rice paddies that define the capital's outskirts.
Réunion Island Peaks
On clear days, the massive silhouettes of Piton des Neiges and the active Piton de la Fournaise appear to the south.
Le Morne Brabant
The iconic UNESCO-listed basaltic monolith on the southwestern tip of Mauritius.
Mauritian Reefs
Exceptional views of the intricate coral reef systems and the 'underwater waterfall' illusion near the coast.
Black River Gorges
The deep green valleys and rugged interior mountains of Mauritius's largest national park.
The right side is the premier choice for this route due to its proximity to Réunion Island during the ocean crossing. For the best photography of the Mauritian lagoons and Le Morne, an afternoon flight provides the most flattering light. Be sure to look out roughly 15-20 minutes before landing for the first glimpse of Réunion's high-altitude volcanic terrain.

Bird's-eye view of the Rova (Queen's Palace) and the densely packed red-tiled houses on the capital's hills.
Eastern Escarpment
The dramatic transition from the high plateau to the mist-shrouded rainforests of eastern Madagascar.
Toamasina Coast
Views of Madagascar's primary port city and the beginning of the historic Pangalanes Canal.
Northern Islets
Sightings of the distinctive rocky formations of Coin de Mire and Flat Island during the Mauritian approach.
Grand Baie
The sparkling turquoise waters and luxury yachts of Mauritius's famous northern tourist hub.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the northern islets of Mauritius if the wind forces a northern approach pattern. It also offers the clearest view of Antananarivo's historic hilltop monuments immediately after takeoff from TNR.
