Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from New York to Casablanca. While takeoff from LGA favors left seats, the landing at Casablanca is the more visually rewarding segment of this transatlantic flight. Right seats capture the Atlantic crossing and the dramatic coastal approach to Morocco, including the iconic Hassan II Mosque and the Casablanca waterfront. The landing view outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from La Guardia (LGA), sit on the Left side for the best views. LGA typically departs eastbound on Runway 4 or 22 depending on wind. Left seats face north initially, giving views of the East River, Manhattan's upper reaches, and the Harlem River valley. Right seats see Queens and Brooklyn sprawl. The northern view is more dramatic and geographically distinctive. Notable sights include: East River (dark water corridor below), Manhattan skyline (dense cluster of buildings to the left), Harlem River (narrower waterway northwest), Bronx residential areas (grid pattern extending north).

When landing at Anfa (CAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approaching Casablanca from the west over the Atlantic, aircraft descend on final approach toward Runway 33 or 15 depending on wind. Right seats face south and southwest, offering views of the Atlantic coastline, the Casablanca waterfront, and the Hassan II Mosque's distinctive white structure. Left seats see inland terrain. The coastal approach is the signature visual for this route. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean (dominant water body), Casablanca waterfront and harbor (urban development meeting coast), Hassan II Mosque (white building with minaret visible from altitude), Anfa district (elevated residential area south of downtown).

The flight from La Guardia (LGA) to Anfa (CAS) takes Approximately 7 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Atlantic at typical cruise altitude (35,000-37,000 feet). Notable features along the route include: the Irish coast and Celtic Sea (if departing northeasterly), the Bay of Biscay (open ocean, minimal landmarks), the Iberian Peninsula's western coast (Portugal and Spain visible during descent phase), and the Strait of Gibraltar region (narrow water passage between Spain and Morocco, visible on clear days during final descent). The Moroccan Atlas Mountains appear as a distant ridge on the southern horizon during approach to Casablanca. Most of the mid-ocean crossing offers only open Atlantic—water and sky dominate for 5+ hours.
