MIR → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Corsican coastline and the distant, snow-capped French Alps during the transit over the Mediterranean and through French airspace.
Cape Bon
The scenic northern tip of Tunisia stretching out into the Mediterranean Sea.
Corsican Alps
Spectacular views of the granite peaks of Corsica and the white cliffs of Bonifacio.
French Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-covered peaks of the high Alps are visible to the east while flying over Provence.
Paris Approach
Depending on the wind, the right side often provides a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline during the descent into Orly.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun illuminate the Corsican mountains. During winter, the contrast of the snowy Alps against the blue sea is a highlight.
Skanes Coastline
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches surrounding Monastir right after takeoff.
Sardinian Shoreline
Clear views of the rugged western coast of Sardinia and the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rolling green hills of south-central France.
Loire Valley
Winding rivers and glimpses of historic chateaus as the flight enters the Paris Basin.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is ideal for capturing the Mediterranean horizon without glare. Look down early for a view of the Monastir Ribat.
