Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for witnessing the majesty of the French Alps, the sparkling blue of the Côte d'Azur, and the dramatic mountainous interior of Corsica during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🗼

Parisian Outskirts

Distant views of the Paris basin and the Eiffel Tower are often visible shortly after departure from Beauvais.

🏔️

French Alps

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc in the distance.

🌊

French Riviera

The coastline of Nice, Cannes, and Antibes as the plane transitions from mainland France to the Mediterranean Sea.

⛰️

Corsica Coastline

The rugged west coast of the 'Island of Beauty' with its steep granite cliffs and deep blue bays.

⚓

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow channel separating Corsica and Sardinia, featuring white limestone cliffs and turquoise waters.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the best lighting on the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 45-55 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain views. During the final descent, this side offers the best perspective of the northern Sardinian landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Massif Central

The ancient, dormant volcanic peaks of central France offer a unique, rolling landscape early in the flight.

🚤

Marseille & Calanques

A glimpse of France's oldest city and the stunning turquoise inlets of the Calanques National Park.

🌅

Mediterranean Horizon

Vast, uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean Sea, particularly stunning during late afternoon or sunset flights.

🗿

Capo Caccia

The iconic massive limestone headland near Alghero, home to the famous Neptune's Grotto.

🏖️

Porto Conte Bay

A panoramic view of the natural horseshoe-shaped bay just before landing at Alghero-Fertilia.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping into the Mediterranean Sea. As the plane approaches Alghero, the right side offers a dramatic view of the Capo Caccia cliffs, which are particularly beautiful when illuminated by the evening sun. Check for clear weather over Central France to see the volcanic craters.
