CDG → SVG
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Dutch urban landscapes and the breathtaking fjord approach into Stavanger.
Paris Cityscape
Potential views of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Cœur during the initial climb out of CDG.
The Randstad
The dense urban network of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, including the busy port areas.
Wadden Sea Islands
The unique chain of Frisian islands characterized by shifting sandbanks and tidal flats.
Rogaland Fjords
Dramatic entry into Norway with views of deep blue inlets and the rugged coastline near Stavanger.
The right side is the definitive choice for the arrival phase. As the plane descends into SVG, you will often fly parallel to the Norwegian coast, offering stunning views of the islands and the mouth of the Lysefjord.
Picardy Coastline
The dramatic chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Northern France shortly after takeoff.
Zeeland Delta Works
A bird's-eye view of the massive Dutch flood protection barriers and intricate estuaries.
North Sea Platforms
Isolated oil and gas rigs appearing as small industrial islands in the middle of the sea.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a sharp eye out as you cross from Belgium into the Netherlands to see the massive Oosterschelde storm surge barrier.
