CDG โ†’ ATL

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Canadian coastline and the dense metropolitan corridors of the US East Coast, all while avoiding the harsh southern sun glare.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
๐Ÿฐ

Normandy Beaches

Look down at the historic coastline of Northern France and the English Channel shortly after departing CDG.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Irish Coastline

Depending on the daily jet stream, you may pass over or near the rugged, green cliffs of Southern Ireland.

๐ŸงŠ

Newfoundland & Labrador

Spot the stark, rocky beauty of the Canadian Maritimes and potentially icebergs in the Labrador Sea during spring months.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Northeast Corridor

On clear days, see the distant skylines of Boston, New York, or Philadelphia as you track down the US East Coast.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Appalachian Mountains

Dramatic views of the ridges and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains during the descent into the Atlanta area.

Sit on the right for soft, indirect lighting perfect for photography. In winter, look for snow-covered peaks in the Appalachians. Use an offline flight tracker map to identify which major US metropolitan centers you are passing as you fly south.

๐Ÿฅ–

รŽle-de-France

Glimpse the sprawling suburbs of Paris and the Seine river winding through the countryside shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

North Atlantic Vastness

Endless views of the deep blue ocean, perfect for spotting cloud formations and the occasional transatlantic vessel.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Carolina Coastline

As you turn inland, see the sandy stretches of the Mid-Atlantic and the barrier islands of the Carolinas.

๐Ÿ‘

Georgia Piedmont

The final descent offers views of the lush, green rolling hills and dense forests characteristic of the American South.

Be prepared for intense sunlight as you are flying south of the sun path; keep your window shade partially closed to prevent cabin overheating. The best views occur in the final 45 minutes of the flight during the approach into ATL.
