Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent panorama of the Pyrenees mountain range to the south and the dramatic limestone cliffs of southern Corsica during departure.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bonifacio Cliffs

Dramatic white limestone cliffs and the turquoise waters of the Strait of Bonifacio immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Lavezzi Archipelago

A cluster of granite islands and reefs located between Corsica and Sardinia.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

The sweeping coastline of the Occitanie region as the flight transitions from sea to land.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

Spectacular long-range views of the snow-capped border between France and Spain throughout the southern transit.

🏰

Carcassonne

The iconic medieval citadel and its double walls are often visible near the flight path.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. In the morning, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Pyrenees perfectly. Look for the Étang de Thau (oyster beds) as you cross the coastline near Sète.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Corsican Highlands

The rugged granite interior and peaks of the Alta Rocca mountains shortly after departure.

🌲

Cévennes National Park

The southern edge of the Massif Central featuring deep valleys and dense forest cover.

🍇

Saint-Émilion Vineyards

The world-famous UNESCO-listed vineyards on the approach to Bordeaux.

🛶

Dordogne River

The winding loops of the Dordogne as it merges toward the Gironde Estuary.

🏙️

Bordeaux Cityscape

Views of the Garonne River and the historic 'Port of the Moon' city center during final approach.

The right side is better for avoiding direct sunlight on afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the extinct volcanoes of the Massif Central on the northern horizon during the middle of the flight.
