Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tanger to Paris. While takeoff favors the right for the Strait of Gibraltar, the landing view from the left (Seine, central Paris, forests) is more visually rewarding and memorable. The flight path itself crosses the Bay of Biscay with minimal distinctive features, so the destination view carries more weight.

During takeoff from Ibn Batouta (TNG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Tangier departs primarily northbound (runways 01/19), so right-side seats face the Strait of Gibraltar and Spanish coast during initial climb. Left side shows the Rif Mountains inland, which are less visually striking from this angle. Notable sights include: Strait of Gibraltar (narrow water channel separating Morocco and Spain), Spanish coast near Tarifa (visible across the strait), Rif Mountains (receding southward), Bay of Tangier (immediate departure area).

When landing at Orly (ORY), sit on the Left side for the best views. Orly typically uses runways 06/24 for arrivals; northbound approaches (runway 06) mean left-side seats face the Seine River, central Paris districts, and the Île-de-France region. Right side shows outer suburbs and less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Seine River (winding through Paris), Île-de-France forests (green patches surrounding the city), Central Paris districts including the Latin Quarter and Marais (visible as dense urban grid), Orly Airport itself (approaching from the south).

The flight from Ibn Batouta (TNG) to Orly (ORY) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

Bay of Biscay (open Atlantic water with minimal landmarks), Brittany coast (rocky headlands and inlets visible if flying close to western France), Loire Valley region (agricultural plains visible inland from the coast), transition from maritime to continental European landscape
