AMM → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Mediterranean coastline, the southern Greek islands, and a spectacular close-up perspective of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, as the plane enters French airspace.
Levantine Coast
Panoramic views of the Eastern Mediterranean coastline shortly after departure from Amman.
Crete & Aegean
The rugged mountains and deep blue shores of Crete and the southern Greek archipelago.
Italian Apennines
Clear views of the central Italian mountain spine and the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of Europe's highest peaks, including the massive snow-capped Mont Blanc massif.
French Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the Burgundy wine region as you descend toward the Paris basin.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the best lighting during morning and midday flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare on the window. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps, which are the highlight of the final 60-90 minutes of the flight. On clear days, the descent provides views of the Eiffel Tower if the approach is from the south.
Amman Cityscape
Excellent views of the rolling hills and limestone architecture of Jordan's capital during takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain ranges along the southern coast of Turkey.
Balkan Peninsula
Cross-continental views over the diverse landscapes of Bulgaria, Serbia, and Croatia.
The Dolomites
Distinguishable jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites visible to the North.
Marne Valley
Historical landscapes and chateaus of the Grand Est region during the final approach to CDG.
The right (Starboard) side is ideal for capturing the unique limestone urban sprawl of Amman immediately after takeoff. This side also offers great views of the Balkan mountain ranges. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can make it quite warm and difficult to photograph due to window reflections. If flying at night, this side often sees the lights of Venice and Milan in the distance.
