Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the French Jura and the majestic Western Alps, followed by a stunning descent over the French Riviera and the rugged northern spine of Corsica.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Dense green rolling hills visible shortly after departure from Liège.

🏔️

The Alps

Spectacular distant views of the snow-capped Western Alps and Mont Blanc massif.

🏙️

Nice & Côte d'Azur

The turquoise waters and urban sprawl of the French Riviera as you head out to sea.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with ferries and yachts.

⛰️

Corsican Mountains

Dramatic granite peaks of the 'Mountain in the Sea' during the approach.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Riviera. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the best peak visibility.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

Ordered rows of world-famous vineyards around Dijon and the Côte d'Or.

🏙️

Lyon & Rhône Valley

Aerial view of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.

⛴️

Marseille Coastline

View of the busy Mediterranean port and the Calanques in the distance.

🏝️

Sanguinaires Islands

The iconic four rocky islets at the entrance of the Gulf of Ajaccio during final descent.

Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. During landing at AJA, the right side often gets a closer look at the limestone cliffs near the bay.
