Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior scenic value, featuring a spectacular panoramic view of the French Alps and Mont Blanc shortly after takeoff, followed by prime views of the Normandy coast and the iconic Mont Saint-Michel during the descent into Jersey.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

The Alps & Mont Blanc

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped French Alps and Europe's highest peak to the southeast during the first 15 minutes.

🍷

Burgundy Region

A bird's-eye view of the famous vineyards and rolling hills of eastern France.

🏰

Mont Saint-Michel

Keep a sharp eye out during descent for the world-famous abbey island off the coast of Normandy.

πŸ–οΈ

D-Day Beaches

Views of the historic coastline of the Cotentin Peninsula as the aircraft approaches the Channel Islands.

🏝️

Sark and Herm

As the flight nears Jersey, the smaller neighboring Channel Islands often appear clearly to the north.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. To see Mont Saint-Michel, look south approximately 10-15 minutes before landing. Be aware that morning flights may experience significant glare on this side of the cabin.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ’§

Lake Geneva

Unrivaled views of the crescent-shaped Lac LΓ©man and the city of Geneva immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

Aerial perspective of the rugged limestone ridges and dense forests along the Franco-Swiss border.

πŸ—Ό

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant urban sprawl of Paris may be visible to the north as the flight traverses central France.

🌊

Alabaster Coast

Dramatic white chalk cliffs of the Upper Normandy coastline near Dieppe before heading over the Channel.

The left side is best for seeing Geneva's city center and the Jet d'Eau during the initial climb. For mid-day flights, this side is generally more comfortable as it faces away from the harshest direct sunlight when traveling northwest.
