Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged beauty of the Mediterranean islands and the distant, majestic French Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Tunisian Coast

Beautiful vistas of the Sfax coastline and the Gulf of Gabes.

⛰️

Corsica & Sardinia

Detailed views of the rocky coastlines and mountainous interiors of these islands.

🏔️

The Alps

Spectacular distant views of the snow-covered peaks during the mid-flight phase.

🍇

Burgundy Vineyards

A patchwork of world-renowned wine-growing estates in eastern France.

🏙️

City of Lyon

Clear view of the urban sprawl where the Rhone and Saone rivers meet.

The right side is preferred for the best chance to see the Alps and the Mediterranean islands. On evening flights, you may catch the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. Keep an eye out for the rugged Corsican peaks shortly after crossing the coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Djerba Island

Vivid views of the salt flats and traditional white buildings upon departure.

🌊

Open Mediterranean

Panoramic views of the sea crossing toward the European continent.

⛰️

Massif Central

Aerial perspective of the dramatic volcanic landscape in central France.

🏰

Loire River

Sightings of the winding river and the historic chateaux of the valley.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct glare and to see the island of Djerba clearly after takeoff. Watch for the Eiffel Tower on the left if the approach to CDG comes from the west.
