Swiss & French Alps
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
Paris Cityscape
Depending on air traffic control patterns, the right side often catches the Eiffel Tower on the final approach.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the Alps appear roughly 45-60 minutes before landing. For the best view of the Eiffel Tower during the CDG approach, look out during the final turns over the Ile-de-France region. Afternoon flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography as the sun moves south.

Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea for the first half of the journey.
Southern Italy
Distant views of the Italian 'heel' and the Ionian Sea crossing if the flight path tracks south.
Central French Plains
The golden and green agricultural patchwork of the French countryside during the final descent.
Paris Suburbs
Dense urban layouts and historic estates on the southern outskirts of the Paris region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also generally quieter for photography due to less atmospheric haze over the open water segments.
