Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for witnessing a spectacular sunrise over the North Atlantic and offers a higher probability of spotting the snow-capped Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta early in the flight and Paris landmarks during approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
❄️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The world's highest coastal mountain range, often visible shortly after departure if the weather is clear.

🌅

Mid-Atlantic Sunrise

A stunning sunrise over the horizon, typically occurring 2-3 hours before the European landfall.

🏝️

The Azores

Potential views of the volcanic peaks of the Azores archipelago if the flight follows a southerly NAT track.

🏰

Loire Valley

Views of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux of Central France during the descent.

🗼

Parisian Skyline

On specific flight paths, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur can be spotted in the distance during the final turn.

The right side is essential for photography enthusiasts wanting to capture the sunrise. Since this is an overnight flight, the sun will rise on the starboard side as you head northeast. Be aware that the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is best seen within the first hour of flight before sunset.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Colombian Andes

Aerial views of the rugged Eastern Cordillera as the aircraft climbs out of the Bogota savanna.

🌊

Caribbean Interface

The dramatic color change as the flight leaves the South American mainland for the Caribbean Sea.

☁️

Atlantic Cloudscapes

Classic views of trade wind cumulus clouds and the vast emptiness of the North Atlantic.

🏖️

Normandy Coastline

Depending on the approach, views of the Alabaster Coast and the English Channel.

🌳

Vexin Français

The neat, patchwork agricultural fields and forests of the regional park just north of Paris.

Sit on the left if you prefer to avoid the direct glare of the sun during the morning arrival into Europe. This side is also better for viewing the northern coastline of France if the aircraft enters through the northern corridor over the UK or Normandy.
