Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lisbon to Casablanca. Right side captures the most dramatic geography: Lisbon's estuary and waterfront on departure, then the open Atlantic crossing, and finally Casablanca's coastal setting on approach. The westward-facing right side maximizes views of the Atlantic and both cities' relationships to the water.

During takeoff from Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side captures the Tagus River estuary and Lisbon's waterfront as you climb out. Humberto Delgado Lisbon Airport typically departs runway 03 (northeast) or 21 (southwest); either direction gives right-seaters a view of the river's distinctive wide mouth and the city's layout along both banks. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary, Lisbon city center and Baixa district, Cristo Rei monument on the south bank, Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge.

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers the best approach view of Casablanca's coastal setting and the Atlantic. Mohammed V typically uses runways 09 (east) or 27 (west); on descent from the north, left-seaters see the city's waterfront, Hassan II Mosque, and the Atlantic coastline clearly. Notable sights include: Hassan II Mosque with its distinctive minaret, Casablanca's medina and modern city grid, Atlantic Ocean and coastal cliffs, Port of Casablanca.

The flight from Lisboa (LIS) to Mohammed V (CMN) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 250 nautical miles. At cruise altitude (25,000-31,000 feet), the open ocean dominates with no significant landmarks. On clear days, you may glimpse the Portuguese coast receding behind and the Moroccan coast approaching, but the midpoint is primarily open water. The flight path generally follows a southeast heading (approximately 135-150°), keeping the Atlantic on the right side throughout the cruise phase.
