Which side of the plane to sit from Ivato Airport (Antananarivo) to Roland Garros Airport (St.-denis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic terrain of Reunion Island during the descent, including views of the island's famous interior calderas.
Search flights from TNR to RUN
Madagascar High Plateau
Observe the striking red earth and terraced rice paddies of the Imerina region shortly after departing Ivato.
Pangalanes Canal
Spot the long string of lakes and lagoons that run parallel to the eastern coast of Madagascar as you cross the shoreline.
Reunion Cirques
Peer into the heart of the island to see the massive, lush craters of Mafate and Salazie as the plane approaches from the west.
Piton des Neiges
Get a glimpse of the highest point in the Indian Ocean, often poking through the morning cloud layer.
Book a window seat on the right side and aim for an early morning flight. Reunion's volcanic peaks are typically clear in the morning but are often obscured by clouds by midday. On the approach into RUN, the right side faces the island's interior, providing the best view of the UNESCO World Heritage volcanic landscapes.

Antananarivo Skyline
Catch views of the 'City of Thousands' and its unique architecture sprawling across the twelve sacred hills during takeoff.
Indian Ocean Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean during the mid-flight cruise phase.
St-Denis Coastline
A clear view of the northern shores and the capital city of Reunion as the aircraft aligns with the runway at Roland Garros.
The left side is generally more shaded on morning flights from Madagascar to Reunion. It provides a peaceful view of the ocean, but lacks the dramatic mountain scenery of the right side. It is best for seeing the urban sprawl of St-Denis just seconds before touchdown.
