FLR → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Peretola Airport (Florence) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the most dramatic Alpine massifs, including Mont Blanc, and typically provides a better angle for the suburban approach into Orly.

Tuscan Apennines
The rugged mountain spine of Italy separating Tuscany from the Po Valley.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, often clearly visible as the flight path skirts the French-Italian border.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman shimmering in the distance to the northeast.
Burgundy Vineyards
The meticulously organized rows of the Côte d'Or wine region near Dijon.
Fontainebleau Forest
