LUX β CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic Champagne vineyards and the winding Marne river, with a potential distant view of the Paris skyline and Disneyland during the approach.
Luxembourg City
Aerial view of the 'Gibraltar of the North' with its deep valleys and historic fortifications right after takeoff.
Champagne Vineyards
Rolling hills and prestigious estates of the Marne department, particularly around the city of Epernay.
Marne River
The sinuous curves of the river cutting through the French countryside towards the capital.
Disneyland Paris
The distinct layout of the theme parks and hotels in Marne-la-VallΓ©e visible during the southern approach.
Paris Skyline
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower are visible on the horizon during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best sunset views as you head west towards Paris. You will fly directly over the famous Champagne region; look for the distinct, manicured patterns of the vineyards. During the descent, look for the Val d'Europe area to spot the Disney parks south of the flight path.
Ardennes Foothills
Dense forests and rugged terrain on the northern horizon as the flight leaves Luxembourgish airspace.
Reims Cathedral
The massive Gothic structure, where French kings were once crowned, is visible in the center of Reims.
Picardy Plains
Large-scale agricultural patterns and rural villages typical of the northern French landscape.
Oise-Pays de France
The lush green spaces and regional natural park situated just north of the Parisian basin.
CDG Infrastructure
A comprehensive view of the massive terminal complexes and runway systems of Charles de Gaulle.
Choose the right side to see the city of Reims and its iconic cathedral from above. This side also provides an excellent overhead view of the CDG airport infrastructure and the Oise-Pays de France regional park just before touchdown. It is generally the 'cooler' side during afternoon flights as the sun is to the south.
