Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic journey across the Mediterranean's north coast, the rugged Dalmatian coastline, and the most dramatic sections of the Alpine range.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks along the southern coast of Turkey shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coastline.
The Alps
Unrivaled views of the high Alpine peaks, glaciers, and valleys of Austria and Switzerland.
Burgundy Region
The rolling hills and organized vineyard patches of eastern France's wine country.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For morning departures, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps. Look out for the Venetian Lagoon if the flight path crosses the top of the Adriatic Sea.
Greek Archipelago
Aerial views of the Cyclades islands and the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Peloponnese Peninsula
The rugged mountains and historic coastlines of southern Greece.
Adriatic Horizon
Sweeping views of the Ionian and Adriatic seas as the flight heads northwest.
Parisian Skyline
On many approaches to CDG from the south, the Eiffel Tower and city center are visible to the left.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. If the flight path takes a more southerly route over Italy, you may spot the Apennine Mountains. During the final descent into Paris, look out for the urban sprawl and iconic landmarks if the wind dictates a northern approach.
