Which side of the plane to sit from Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (Fort-de-france) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Martinique's volcanic peaks during takeoff and typically provides a more scenic entry over the French Atlantic coast and the Loire River during the descent into Orly.

Mont Pelée
A magnificent view of Martinique's iconic and lush active volcano shortly after departure.
Atlantic Coast of Martinique
The wilder, windward side of the island with its jagged rocks and coral reef fringes.
French Atlantic Islands
Spot the beautiful Ile d'Yeu or Ile de Ré when the aircraft crosses from the ocean to the mainland.
The Loire River
Follow the winding path of France's longest river as it flows through the heart of the country.
Eiffel Tower & Paris Skyline
On the standard approach to Orly, this side often provides a clear view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
The right side is highly recommended for the departure from Martinique to see the island's mountainous interior. Since most FDF-ORY flights are overnight, you will experience a beautiful sunrise over the Bay of Biscay on this side. During the final approach to Orly, keep your eyes peeled for the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower appearing on the horizon to the north.

Loire Valley Châteaux
Bird's-eye views of the historic estates and manicured gardens of the Loire region during descent.
Northern Paris Outskirts
Views of the urban density and northern suburbs if the flight path maneuvers for a northern landing.
Choose the left side for sunset views if taking an early evening departure, as the sun will set on this side of the aircraft. For the arrival, if the plane approaches from the west, you may see the northern districts of Paris, though this is less common than the southern approach.
