Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the rugged Corsican mountains, the southern French coastline around Marseille, and the winding Rhone Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇮🇹

Sardinia

Excellent views of the rugged northern coastline of Sardinia and the narrow Strait of Bonifacio.

🗺️

Corsica Interior

Dramatic views of the high granite peaks of central Corsica, including the jagged ridges of Monte Cinto.

⚓

Marseille & Calanques

Clear views of the busy port of Marseille and the stunning white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.

🍇

Rhone Valley

The patchwork of vineyards and the winding Rhone River heading north toward the city of Lyon.

🗼

Paris Basin

Visuals of the dense urban sprawl of the southern Paris suburbs and the loops of the Seine during the final descent.

The right side is prime for geographic landmarks. You will fly almost directly over the Strait of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Corsica, offering a rare look at both islands. During the descent into Orly, this side often provides better views of the Paris urban landscape. Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the best photography of the Corsican peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Djerba Coastline

Aerial view of the Island of Dreams and the shallow turquoise waters of the Gulf of Gabes upon departure.

🌊

Mediterranean Transit

Expansive views of the deep blue sea as the aircraft crosses the central Mediterranean towards Europe.

⛰️

Western Corsica

Views of the rugged cliffs and the beautiful Gulf of Porto on the island's western coastline.

🏖️

French Mediterranean

Distant views of the Camargue wetlands and Montpellier as the flight enters French airspace.

🌋

Auvergne Peaks

On clear days, the ancient volcanic domes of the Massif Central are visible to the west during the mid-flight phase.

Sit on the left for the best morning light to avoid glare when flying north. Keep an eye out for the turquoise lagoons of Djerba immediately after takeoff. In clear weather, look far west as you enter France for a potential glimpse of the distant Pyrenees range.
