Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its diverse transition from the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Anatolia and the historic rivers of Central Europe.
Search flights from MCT to CDG
Persian Gulf Coast
Aerial perspectives of the shimmering coastline and offshore islands near the UAE and Kuwait.
Lake Van
Turkey's largest lake, known for its stunning turquoise soda-water and surrounding volcanoes.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, high-altitude Anatolian terrain with deep gorges and snow-dusted ridges.
Black Sea Coast
Glancing views of the dark blue waters as the flight path transitions from Turkey into Bulgaria.
Danube River
The historic waterway winding through the plains of Hungary and Austria toward Germany.
The right side offers the most consistent geographic variety. Look out for Lake Van about 3 hours into the flight; its color is unmistakable from 35,000 feet. This side is particularly scenic during morning departures when the desert landscapes feature long, dramatic shadows.

Expansive views of the golden sand dunes across the northern Arabian Peninsula.
European Alps
Spectacular snow-capped vistas of the Austrian and Swiss Alps during the final leg of the journey.

Paris Approach
Depending on the wind direction, you may catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower on the horizon during landing patterns.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is the Alps, which usually appear approximately 75 to 90 minutes before landing. Keep your camera ready for the contrast between the arid desert and the green European continent.
