Brasilia Pilot Plan
Aerial view of the unique airplane-shaped city layout and the Paranoá Lake immediately after takeoff.
Cerrado Highlands
Expansive views of the Brazilian central plateau and its unique transition into the northern tropical zones.
Atlantic Coastline
Last views of the South American continent, typically over the rugged coast of Maranhão or Ceará.
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic meeting of the North Atlantic and the French western coastline as the plane enters European airspace.
Loire Valley Chateaux
Aerial sightings of the historic castles and winding rivers of central France during the initial descent.
Paris Landmarks
Prime positioning for views of the Eiffel Tower, La Défense, and the Seine if landing from the west.
Choose the left side for night flights to avoid the direct morning sun during the arrival phase. This side typically offers better views of the Parisian urban core during the final approach pattern, especially if the aircraft is directed to the southern runways of CDG.

Distant glimpses of the ancient plateaus and quartz-rich landscapes of the central Brazilian highlands.
Mid-Atlantic Sunrise
Unobstructed views of the sunrise over the horizon, a highlight for the typical eastbound overnight schedule.

Visuals of cargo vessels and tankers navigating the deep ocean waters between South America and Europe.
French Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the French countryside and agricultural heartland north of the Loire.
Stade de France
Clear views of the iconic national stadium located in Saint-Denis as the plane nears the airport perimeter.
The right side is ideal for sunrise enthusiasts, as most BSB-CDG flights are overnight, placing the dawn directly out these windows. During winter months, the light over the French countryside can be particularly soft and golden for photography.
