CZL → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this northbound route as it avoids direct sun glare during the morning and offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic craters of the Massif Central and the salt pans of southern France.

Rhumel River Gorge
Dramatic views of the deep canyons and steep cliffs surrounding Constantine immediately after takeoff.
Balearic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight leaves the African coast.
Camargue Wetlands
Vibrant pink salt evaporation ponds and marshlands as the aircraft enters French airspace near Montpellier.
Massif Central Volcanoes
The unique 'Chaîne des Puys,' a string of dormant volcanic cones and craters in central France.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Bird's-eye views of the winding Loire River and historic estates as you approach the Parisian basin.
For the best experience, choose a window seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. On morning flights, the left side remains in the shade, providing perfect conditions for photography without window reflections. Keep a sharp eye out about 45 minutes before landing for the distinct circular volcanic craters of the Auvergne region.

Sidi M'Cid Bridge
A glimpse of Constantine’s famous suspension bridge spanning the abyss during the initial climb.
Gulf of Skikda
The rugged Algerian coastline where the Atlas mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon over France.
Rhône Valley Vineyards
Aerial patterns of some of France's most prestigious wine-growing regions along the Rhône river.
Grand Paris
Dense urban sprawl and potential views of the Seine river as the plane aligns for the Orly approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. On the final descent into Orly, if the wind is from the west, the right side may offer a distant view of the Eiffel Tower and the Parisian skyline. In winter, the right side provides the best chance to see the snow-covered Alps in the distance during the middle segment of the flight.
