Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the extinct volcanoes of the Massif Central in France and the spectacular mountainous approach into Constantine, including the famous Rhumel River gorges.
Loire Valley
The winding banks of France's longest river, dotted with historic estates and sandbanks.
Chaîne des Puys
A stunning chain of over 80 extinct volcanoes, including the iconic, dome-shaped Puy de Dôme.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhône delta, often showing vibrant pink and white hues.
Bejaia Bay
The dramatic 'Y' shaped coastline where the Mediterranean meets the steep Petite Kabylie mountains.
Constantine Gorges
Breathtaking views of the 'City of Bridges' perched on high cliffs over the Rhumel River during final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the French volcanic peaks. During the descent into Constantine, this side offers the best perspective of the city's unique limestone plateau and architectural bridges.
Paris Suburbs
Aerial views of the sprawling Greater Paris region and the Marne river during initial climb.
Rhône Valley
The lush agricultural lands and vineyards of the eastern French countryside.
Distant Alps
On very clear days, the snow-capped French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.
Marseille Coastline
A view of the Gulf of Marseille and the rocky Calanques as the flight leaves Europe.
Djurdjura Mountains
The jagged limestone peaks of the Kabylie region as the plane enters North African airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep a lookout for the transition from the Mediterranean blue to the sudden, steep green ridges of the Algerian coast near Jijel.
