About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Gatwick (LGW) to Inezgane (AGA)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Agadir. The right side wins overall. At takeoff it captures the South Downs and the Channel coast. During the cruise southward, the right side tracks the Iberian Peninsula's Atlantic coast — the Portuguese coastline, the Algarve, and eventually the Strait of Gibraltar and the Moroccan coast — all more scenic than the open Atlantic on the left. The left side is better only on the final approach into Agadir, but that is a short window compared to the sustained coastal views on the right for most of the flight.

What can I see during takeoff from Gatwick in London?
