Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks, including the high Alpine ridges, the Venetian Lagoon, and the rugged interior of the Taurus Mountains.
Taurus Mountains
A spectacular view of the snow-dusted peaks and deep valleys of southern Turkey immediately after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
The unique historical layout of Venice and its surrounding islands often appear as you cross the northern Adriatic.
The High Alps
A breathtaking panorama of the snow-capped Dolomites and the main Alpine range, often including Mont Blanc.
Lake Geneva
The massive, crescent-shaped lake bordered by the Swiss and French Alps is a major waypoint.
Paris Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern at Orly, the Eiffel Tower and city center are frequently visible to the north.
For the most dramatic mountain photography, sit on the right side and choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the north-facing slopes of the Alps. Be alert for Venice approximately 90-120 minutes into the flight.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs surrounding Antalya during the initial ascent.
Aegean Archipelago
Glimpses of the southern Greek islands and the deep blue expanse of the Aegean Sea.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline of Croatia featuring hundreds of islands and white-stone coastal towns.
Apennine Spine
The mountainous backbone of Italy visible as the aircraft crosses from the Adriatic toward Central Europe.
Loire Valley
The lush greenery and winding rivers of the French countryside as you approach the Paris basin.
The left side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers excellent views of the Croatian coastline; look out for the distinct shape of the islands about mid-way through the flight.
