Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Mediterranean coastline, the rugged western cliffs of Corsica, and a more favorable angle for spotting Paris and the English South Coast during the descent.

Crossing the busy shipping lanes of the Channel before making landfall over the Sussex or Hampshire coast.

Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft.
