BJA → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Soummam Airport (Bejaja) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides an immediate, stunning view of the Gulf of Bejaia and Cap Carbon at takeoff, followed by views of the French Alps and a more favorable angle for the Paris skyline on arrival.

Cap Carbon
Dramatic limestone cliffs and one of the world's highest lighthouses visible immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Bejaia
A bird's eye view of the historic port and the turquoise crescent-shaped bay surrounded by mountains.
The French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon during the cruise over France.
Marseille Coastline
Distant glimpses of the French Riviera and the Provence coastline as the aircraft enters French airspace.
Paris Skyline
Excellent chances of seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower during the final descent into Orly.
The right side is essential for the scenic departure from Bejaia; ensure you are seated by a window before takeoff. To avoid the sun's glare, this side is best for morning flights. During the descent into Orly, look out for the city center; the right side typically offers the best angle of the Paris landmarks depending on the wind direction.

Mediterranean Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue Balearic Sea as the flight heads north from the Algerian coast.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The unique silhouettes of the Chaine des Puys, ancient dormant volcanoes in central France.
Loire Valley
Winding rivers and the historic architectural patterns of the French heartland near Orleans.
Paris Basin
A patchwork of golden and green agricultural fields characterizing the approach to the capital.
Select the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea and the French countryside. It offers a more direct view of the Massif Central's volcanic craters if the flight path stays more to the west of the French center.
