CCS → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the Lesser Antilles shortly after takeoff and typically provides a more dramatic angle of the Paris skyline and the Eiffel Tower during the final approach into CDG depending on wind patterns.

Avila Mountain Range
Spectacular views of the coastal mountains separating Caracas from the Caribbean Sea immediately after takeoff.
The Lesser Antilles
Clear views of islands such as Guadeloupe, Dominica, or Antigua during the initial hours of the flight.
Atlantic Sunrise
A front-row seat to the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean as you approach the European continent.
Paris Cityscape
High probability of seeing the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and the Seine during southern approaches to CDG.
French Farmland
The beautiful 'patchwork quilt' patterns of the French countryside during the final descent.
Sit on the right for the best chance of spotting Caribbean islands early in the flight. Since most CCS-CDG flights are overnight, the right side will experience direct morning sun upon arrival in France; keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to stay cool, but open it as you cross the French border for stunning sunrise views and Paris landmarks.

Caribbean Sea Expanse
Infinite turquoise horizons as you depart the Venezuelan coast heading northeast.
Northern Atlantic Horizon
Dramatic sky colors during the transition from night to day over the open ocean.
Brittany Coastline
The rugged and rocky shores of northwestern France as the aircraft makes landfall.
Loire Valley
Bird's-eye view of the historic châteaux and winding rivers of central-western France.
The left side is preferable if you want to avoid direct sunlight during the morning arrival in Europe. It offers better views of the French coastline near Brittany if the flight path tracks slightly north. For overnight flights, this side remains darker, facilitating better sleep.
