Maddalena Archipelago
Crystal-clear lagoons and pink granite islands immediately after departing Olbia.
French Alps
Dramatic views of snow-capped peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc in the distance.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric precision of world-famous wine estates near Dijon and Beaune.
Paris Landmarks
If landing to the west, the right side often catches the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur on the horizon.
Costa Smeralda
The 'Emerald Coast' of Sardinia with its hidden coves and luxury yachts visible during initial climb.
The right side is essential for the Maddalena Archipelago views right after takeoff. During the cruise, watch for the transition from the Mediterranean blue to the white peaks of the Alps. On clear days, the late afternoon light hitting the Alps provides spectacular photo opportunities. If the wind is from the west, the right side is the prime spot for seeing central Paris during the approach to CDG.

West Corsica Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged granite cliffs and the turquoise waters of the Scandola Nature Reserve.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic peaks and lush green plateaus of central France.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Glimpses of historic estates and the winding Loire River as the flight approaches the Paris basin.
Western Paris Suburbs
Dense urban patterns and the La Défense business district during the final approach phase.
To maximize the view of the Corsican 'Calanques,' choose a seat in front of the wing. For morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Be alert for the Loire River's distinctive sandbanks about 30 minutes before landing.
