MIRORY

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌅

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

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.
