AJA → LIL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (Ajaccio) to Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic view of the Cap Corse peninsula during departure and unparalleled vistas of the French Alps and the eastern wine regions during the cruise phase.
Cap Corse
The dramatic northern tip of Corsica, featuring a central mountain range plunging into the sea.
French Alps
On clear days, the majestic snow-capped peaks including Mont Blanc are visible to the east.
Burgundy Region
The famous patchwork of vineyards stretching across the rolling hills of eastern France.
Lille Metropole
A comprehensive view of the red-brick architecture and the urban layout of Lille during the descent.
Early morning flights offer the best lighting on the right side for photographing the Alps. Watch for the 'V' shape of the Cap Corse peninsula immediately after departure from AJA.
Gulf of Sagone
Crystal clear Mediterranean waters and the rugged western coastline of Corsica right after takeoff.
French Riviera
Aerial view of the glamorous coastline around Saint-Tropez or Marseille depending on the flight path.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic domes of the Chaîne des Puys visible in central France.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the evening. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling urban landscape of the Paris region from a distance.
