CDG → ROB
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Roberts International Airport (Monrovia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse scenic progression, featuring the Mediterranean coastline, the Balearic Islands, and a stunning approach over the Atlantic Ocean into Monrovia.
Parisian Outskirts
Excellent views of the Seine River and the southern suburbs of Paris during the initial climb phase.
Balearic Islands
Aerial perspective of Mallorca and Ibiza surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Mauritanian Adrar
The dramatic rocky plateaus and swirling sands of the Western Sahara and Mauritania.
Sierra Leone Coastline
Striking views of the Freetown peninsula and the jagged Atlantic coast as the plane nears its destination.
Monrovia Approach
A scenic final descent over the Atlantic Ocean, often providing views of ships anchored near the Port of Monrovia.
The right side is ideal for coastal views. For the best experience, choose a flight that departs CDG in the late morning to catch the Sahara in peak brightness. During the final 30 minutes, keep your camera ready for the dramatic moment the desert meets the ocean near the West African coast.
Massif Central
View the volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France shortly after takeoff from Paris.
Grand Erg Occidental
Expansive vistas of the Algerian Sahara with massive sand dune fields that glow in the sunlight.
Niger River Bend
A chance to spot the life-giving Niger River as it flows through the semi-arid landscapes of Mali.
Loma Mountains
The lush, forested peaks of the Guinea and Sierra Leone border regions visible during the descent.
The left side is superior for observing the deep interior of the Sahara Desert. Mid-flight, the high sun illuminates the complex patterns of the dunes. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to see the transition from the arid Sahel to the tropical forests of West Africa.
