Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Los Angeles to Casablanca. While the landing on the left is compelling, the takeoff on the right offers more dramatic and varied scenery—the San Gabriel Mountains are more visually striking than the approach into Casablanca. Right-side seats capture the most distinctive geographic feature of the departure phase.

During takeoff from Los Angeles International (LAX), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the Los Angeles basin spreading eastward. The climb-out path from LAX typically heads east or northeast, positioning right-side passengers to see the mountain range that forms the eastern boundary of the LA metro area. Notable sights include: San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles basin urban sprawl, Pacific Ocean (receding westward), San Bernardino Valley (distant).

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views during the approach into Casablanca. The descent path typically brings aircraft in from the Atlantic Ocean side, and left-side passengers will see the Moroccan coastline, the Atlantic swells, and the city of Casablanca itself positioned along the shore. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean coastline, Casablanca waterfront and medina, Anfa district (elevated residential area), Atlas Mountains (distant southern horizon).

The flight from Los Angeles International (LAX) to Mohammed V (CMN) takes Approximately 10.5 to 11.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the continental United States (Great Plains, Appalachian ridges visible on clear days), then the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 5,000 miles. Notable features include the curvature of the Earth becoming apparent at cruise altitude, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's subtle topographic signature on the ocean floor, the Azores islands (if visible during daylight), and the European coastline (Portugal/Spain) appearing on the eastern horizon during final descent phases. The North Atlantic typically shows cloud formations and weather systems; on clear days, the ocean's deep blue color and occasional ship traffic are visible.
