Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Casablanca. The left side wins overall because the Paris departure view is spectacular and hard to beat — the Seine, the city grid, and the Eiffel Tower district are all on the left. During cruise the flight tracks over central France, the Pyrenees or just west of them, and the Strait of Gibraltar area, with the left side offering better angles on the Spanish interior and the Strait crossing. The right side has the edge only at landing for Casablanca city views.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically departs southbound on runways 26L/26R or 09/27 depending on wind, but the general southwesterly track toward Casablanca means the left side gets the best view of Paris city center during the climb-out. You'll see the Seine river snaking through the city, with the Eiffel Tower and the dense Haussmann grid of central Paris clearly visible before the aircraft turns southwest. Notable sights include: Paris city center and the Seine river bends, Eiffel Tower district (Champ de Mars area), Versailles palace and gardens to the southwest, Loire Valley agricultural patchwork as you climb out.

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Mohammed V airport sits southeast of Casablanca, and aircraft typically approach from the north or northeast on runway 35L/35R (northerly heading) or 17 depending on winds. On the common northerly approach, the right side faces west toward the Atlantic coast and the city of Casablanca itself, giving clear views of the coastline, the Hassan II Mosque on the waterfront, and the urban layout of the city against the ocean. Notable sights include: Casablanca Atlantic coastline, Hassan II Mosque on the seafront (one of the tallest structures in Africa), Casablanca city grid and port district, the flat Chaouia plain surrounding the airport.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Mohammed V (CMN) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight crosses central France over the Massif Central highlands, then the Pyrenees or their western foothills near the Bay of Biscay coast, followed by the Iberian Peninsula crossing over central Spain's Meseta plateau. The Strait of Gibraltar is a dramatic narrow crossing visible from both sides, with the Rock of Gibraltar and the Moroccan Rif mountains beyond. The final descent crosses the flat Atlantic coastal plain of northern Morocco.
