CLY β LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (Calvi) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its spectacular views of the highest Corsican peaks upon departure, followed by a stunning perspective of the French Riviera, the snow-capped Alps, and the Jura mountains.
Monte Cinto
The highest peak in Corsica, often snow-dusted, providing a dramatic backdrop immediately after departure.
French Riviera
An aerial panorama of Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, and the exclusive Principality of Monaco.
The High Alps
Unrivaled views of the Mercantour National Park and distant sightings of the Mont Blanc massif.
Lake Geneva & Jura
The crescent-shaped lake and the folding ridges of the Jura Mountains defining the French-Swiss border.
Vosges Mountains
Dense forest canopies and rounded peaks (ballons) as the flight tracks north toward the Moselle.
Moselle River
The winding river valley and steep-sloped vineyards marking the final approach into Luxembourg-Findel.
This is the 'scenic side' for mountain lovers. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the most even lighting. As you approach LUX, look for the 'Three Borders' area where France, Germany, and Luxembourg meet near the Schengen region.
Revellata Peninsula
Stunning views of the rugged granite coastline and the lighthouse just west of Calvi airport during takeoff.
Ligurian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water where cetaceans are frequently spotted during clear morning crossings.
Massif de l'Esterel
Distinctive red volcanic rock formations clashing with the turquoise Mediterranean near Cannes.
RhΓ΄ne Valley & Burgundy
Sweeping views of the patchwork vineyards and the historical city layouts of eastern France.
Lorraine Region
Lush green plains and historical industrial landscapes of northeastern France during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side offers better views of the western Mediterranean coastline and the transition from the maritime climate to the continental plains of France. Watch for the Meuse river curves as you approach the Luxembourgish border.
