CDG โ ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
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.
Normandy Beaches
Look down at the historic coastline of Northern France and the English Channel shortly after departing CDG.
Irish Coastline
Depending on the daily jet stream, you may pass over or near the rugged, green cliffs of Southern Ireland.
Newfoundland & Labrador
Spot the stark, rocky beauty of the Canadian Maritimes and potentially icebergs in the Labrador Sea during spring months.
Northeast Corridor
On clear days, see the distant skylines of Boston, New York, or Philadelphia as you track down the US East Coast.
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.
รle-de-France
Glimpse the sprawling suburbs of Paris and the Seine river winding through the countryside shortly after takeoff.
North Atlantic Vastness
Endless views of the deep blue ocean, perfect for spotting cloud formations and the occasional transatlantic vessel.
Carolina Coastline
As you turn inland, see the sandy stretches of the Mid-Atlantic and the barrier islands of the Carolinas.
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.
