LIM → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more comfortable viewing experience during the morning arrival into Europe, providing spectacular views of the French coastline and the Loire Valley while avoiding the direct glare of the rising sun.

Lima City Lights
Dramatic nighttime views of the sprawling Lima metropolitan area immediately after takeoff from Jorge Chávez.
Biscay Coastline
The rugged and beautiful meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the western coast of France as the flight enters European airspace.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the 'Garden of France,' featuring historic chateaux and the winding Loire River during the descent.
French Farmland
The patchwork of neatly organized green and golden fields characteristic of the French countryside north of the Loire.
Since this route is typically an overnight flight departing Lima in the evening, the left side is ideal for catching the city lights of Lima at takeoff and enjoying a glare-free view of France during the midday arrival. It is also the side less likely to be affected by the heat of the morning sun during the Atlantic crossing.

Atlantic Sunrise
A stunning and uninterrupted view of the sun rising over the Atlantic horizon during the final hours of the ocean crossing.
Pyrenees Vista
Distant views of the snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Greater Paris
The expansive urban landscape of the Île-de-France region and the suburbs surrounding the capital city.
CDG Airport Complex
Detailed views of the massive terminal structures and runways of Charles de Gaulle during the final approach.
The right side is the choice for passengers who want to see the sunrise over the ocean. However, be prepared for intense sunlight and heat in the cabin during the morning hours. If the flight path approaches CDG from the south, the right side may offer a distant view of the Eiffel Tower and central Paris, depending on the day's air traffic patterns.
