Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

While the left side provides excellent views of the Corsican interior, the right side is preferred for its stunning aerial perspective of the French Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic final approach over the cliffs of Bonifacio and the Lavezzi Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Loire Estuary

See where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.

🏖ïļ

Golfe du Lion

Follow the sweeping sandy arc of the Languedoc-Roussillon coastline before heading out to sea.

🌅

Bonifacio Cliffs

Spectacular views of the white limestone cliffs and the famous 'King of Aragon's Staircase' on descent.

🏝ïļ

Lavezzi Archipelago

Emerald lagoons and granite islets scattered between Corsica and Sardinia during the final turn.

ðŸ‡ŪðŸ‡đ

Sardinian Horizon

On clear days, the northern coast of Sardinia is clearly visible just across the narrow strait.

The right side is essential for the scenic approach into FSC. Request a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the turquoise waters. In the afternoon, the setting sun provides golden light over the limestone cliffs of southern Corsica, making for perfect photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏰

Loire Valley Chateaux

Spot historic estates and the winding Loire river immediately after departing Nantes.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Glance at the extinct volcanic peaks of the Massif Central during the mid-flight cruise.

ðŸĶĒ

Camargue Wetlands

View the salt pans and unique pink-tinged waters of the Rhone delta near the coast.

🏔ïļ

Corsican Highlands

Witness the rugged, snow-dusted granite peaks of the Monte Cinto massif as you approach the island.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distant silhouette of the French Alps to the east when crossing the Mediterranean coast. This side is better for seeing the wild, mountainous heart of the 'Island of Beauty'.
