Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for sunset views on afternoon flights and provides a broader perspective of the French coastline and the potential distant skyline of Paris during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Djerba Shoreline

Aerial views of the island's turquoise lagoons and the white-washed architecture of Houmt Souk shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

Deep indigo waters of the Mediterranean Sea as the flight tracks north toward the European continent.

⛰️

Sardinian Cliffs

The rugged western coastline of Sardinia, featuring dramatic limestone cliffs and secluded coves.

🏖️

Massif Central

The volcanic landscapes and rolling green plateaus of south-central France.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the La Défense district can be spotted to the west during the descent.

🚜

Hauts-de-France Plains

The neatly organized patchwork of agricultural fields typical of the northern French landscape approaching Lille.

Book an afternoon flight on the left side to experience a stunning sunset over the French countryside. This side also offers the best chance to see the Mediterranean coastline of North Africa immediately after departure.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🚤

Gulf of Gabès

Views of the shallow coastal waters and the unique Kerkennah Islands off the Tunisian coast.

⛰️

Corsican Peaks

The jagged, snow-capped interior mountains of Corsica rising sharply from the sea.

🏔️

The High Alps

Spectacular views of the Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc if the flight path tracks slightly east.

🍷

Rhône Valley

The winding path of the Rhône River cutting through famous vineyard regions.

🍾

Champagne Region

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the Alps illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready about 60 to 80 minutes into the flight for the best mountain photography.
