Which side of the plane to sit from Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (Ajaccio) to Liège Airport (Liege)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views, including a parallel flight path along the main chain of the High Alps and iconic landmarks like Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
Cap Corse
The distinctive 'finger' of northern Corsica with its tiny coastal villages and deep blue sea.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in its full snow-capped glory as you pass the Franco-Italian border.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent shape of Lac Léman, with the city of Geneva visible at its western tip.
Luxembourg City
Views of the Alzette River valley and the historic fortifications of the 'Gibraltar of the North'.
Meuse Valley
The industrial heart of Wallonia, featuring the sprawling steel mills and urban landscape of Liège during descent.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the glaciers and peaks. Look out for the Matterhorn in the distance on clear days. Ensure you have your camera ready approximately 30-40 minutes after takeoff for the best mountain views.
Corsican Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged western cliffs and turquoise bays near the Gulf of Sagone shortly after takeoff.
French Riviera
Visuals of the glamorous Côte d'Azur coastline, including Antibes and the Lérins Islands as you cross into mainland France.
Jura Mountains
The characteristic long, forested ridges and limestone plateaus of the Jura range along the French border.
Alsace-Lorraine
A mosaic of vineyards and historic towns in eastern France, transitioning into the industrial heritage of the Meuse valley.
The Ardennes
Dense, dark green forest canopies and winding river valleys as you enter Belgian airspace.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Massif Central and the Paris Basin. This side is also better for spotting the glitz of the French Riviera resorts during the first third of the journey.
