Passengers on the right side during departure often enjoy views of the historic Nantes city center and the winding Loire river as the aircraft climbs away from the field.
The right side offers superior views of the varied French landscapes, transitioning from the wetlands near the Atlantic to the dramatic silhouettes of the Vosges mountains and the distant Alps on clear days.
While both sides offer excellent views, the right side provides a high-probability sighting of the iconic Mont Saint-Michel and better views of the English Midlands and the Peak District on the final approach to Manchester.
The left side offers a superior mix of diverse French interior landscapes, the rugged western coastline of Sardinia, and a scenic approach over the historic settlements of Djerba.
The left side provides a scenic advantage with consistent views of the French and Dutch coastlines, including the historic Normandy beaches and the North Sea approach.
The left side provides a better vantage point for the Channel Islands and the scenic approach over the English coastline near Brighton.
The left side is superior for this short hop because it offers a direct view of the city of Nantes upon departure and, most importantly, provides the iconic panoramic views of the Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse, during the standard approach into Orly.
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic loops of the Seine River near Normandy and distant glimpses of the Opal Coast and the English Channel.
