BLJ → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Batna Airport (Batna) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for the dramatic departure over the Aurès Mountains, potential views of the rugged Kabylie region, and the iconic approach into Paris which often provides a better perspective of the city's landmarks when landing at Orly.

Aurès Mountains
Stunning limestone canyons and high plateaus immediately visible after departing Batna.
Djurdjura Range
The 'Great Kabylie' mountains with their sharp, snow-dusted peaks in winter.
Sardinia & Corsica
Depending on the corridor, the mountainous outlines of these Mediterranean islands appear to the east.
Massif Central
Fly over the dormant volcanic domes of the Auvergne region in central France.
Paris Skyline
During the final descent into Orly, the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower are frequently visible to the right.
The right side is exceptional for the initial 20 minutes of the flight over Algeria. For the best views of Paris, look out during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the south, the city center appears on this side.
