LFW → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Lomé-Tokoin Airport (Lome) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer incredible views of the Sahara, the Right Side typically provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Hoggar Mountains and a more direct view of the Mediterranean crossing towards the French coast.
Search flights from LFW to CDG
Hoggar Mountains
Stunning dark volcanic massifs and the 'forest of peaks' in southern Algeria.
Tassili n'Ajjer
A vast plateau featuring incredible sandstone rock formations and lunar-like landscapes.
Mediterranean Crossing
Clear views of the deep blue sea, often passing near the coast of Algiers or the Balearic Islands.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic chain of the Chaîne des Puys in central France is often visible during the final hour of flight.
Disneyland Paris
Depending on the arrival pattern, you may see the theme park complex just east of the city before landing.
The right side is the 'geology side' of this route. To see the Hoggar Mountains clearly, ensure you are on a daytime flight, as these are best viewed between 3 and 5 hours into the journey. If you are flying overnight, the right side will offer a beautiful sunrise over the Mediterranean or the French Alps in the distance as you head north.

Gulf of Guinea
Dramatic views of the West African coastline and the Bight of Benin immediately after departure.
Great Sand Sea
Expansive views of the longitudinal dunes in the Western Sahara and the Erg Chech region.
Loire Valley
During the descent into Paris, the aircraft often passes over the winding rivers and chateaus of central France.
Paris City Center
On specific westerly approaches to CDG, the Left Side may catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl.
Choose the left side for better coastal views upon departure from Lomé. For daytime flights, keep your window shade down during the mid-flight Sahara crossing to avoid the intense glare, but peek out periodically to see the intricate patterns of the sand dunes. In winter, this side may offer better sunset views as you approach Europe.
