Right-side seats capture the dramatic High Atlas departure scenery, which is the most visually distinctive feature of this route. While the landing approach into Seville offers river and city views from the left, the mountain scenery on departure is more striking and memorable.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Strait of Gibraltar region at altitude. Midway, you'll pass over the coastal plains of southern Spain and northern Morocco. The Rif Mountains are visible to the east if flying that corridor. The Mediterranean coast near the Strait may be visible on very clear days, though the flight typically stays inland. The transition from Moroccan terrain to Spanish Andalusian plains is gradual, with olive groves and cork forests becoming more prevalent as you approach Seville.
