AJA → TLS
Which side of the plane to sit from Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (Ajaccio) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Sanguinaires Islands upon departure and a magnificent panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range during the descent into Toulouse.
Îles Sanguinaires
The 'Bloody Islands' at the tip of the Gulf of Ajaccio are visible immediately after a westward takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
A vast crossing of the Mediterranean offering deep blue water views before reaching the French mainland.
The Pyrenees
As the plane approaches Toulouse, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees dominate the southern horizon.
Occitanie Lagoons
Bird's eye views of the coastal ponds and wetlands near Narbonne and Béziers.
Toulouse Suburbs
Views of the Garonne river and the terracotta-roofed residential areas of southern Toulouse.
Book an early morning flight to see the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. On departure from AJA, look out quickly as the Sanguinaires Islands appear almost immediately. During the cruise, the Pyrenees will be visible to the south; keep your camera ready as you begin the descent for the best mountain clarity.
Corsican Highlands
The rugged, mountainous interior of Corsica, including the granite peaks of the Monte Cinto massif.
Languedoc Coast
Views of the popular beach resorts and marinas along the French Mediterranean coastline.
Haut-Languedoc
The rolling green hills and forested landscapes of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park.
Airbus Headquarters
On final approach to TLS, the massive aircraft assembly lines and the Aeroscopia museum are often visible.
The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial heart of European aviation at Toulouse-Blagnac. If the flight path takes a more northerly route over the sea, you may catch a glimpse of the French Riviera. Afternoon flights are better for the right side to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun.
