Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Es Senia Airport (Oran)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees and the picturesque coastline of eastern Spain and Oran's historic harbor during the descent.
Loire Valley
Glimpses of France's famous garden region characterized by historic chateaux and lush green landscapes.
Pyrenees Mountains
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain with jagged peaks and deep valleys.
Costa Brava
The rugged and beautiful coastline of Catalonia with its hidden coves and the city of Barcelona.
Oran Harbor
Final approach views of the historic Fort Santa Cruz and the bustling Mediterranean port of Oran.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the golden hour over the Spanish coast. During the final descent into Oran, this side provides the most iconic views of the Murdjadjo hill and the Spanish-built fortifications.
Paris Skyline
Early views of the French capital's sprawling outskirts and the Seine river winding through northern France.
Massif Central
Aerial perspective of the rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks in the heart of central France.
Gulf of Lion
A broad view of the French Mediterranean coastline where the Rhone River meets the turquoise sea.
Balearic Islands
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Mallorca and Menorca appear as jewels in the Mediterranean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. Keep an eye out for the distant peaks of the Alps to the far east during the initial cruise phase.
