Balearic Islands
On clear days, catch a glimpse of Ibiza or Mallorca in the distance as the flight traverses the Mediterranean.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic landscape of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring dormant craters and unique geological formations.
The Loire River
Follow the longest river in France as it winds through the countryside towards the Atlantic.
Paris Cityscape
On the standard approach to Orly (especially runway 06), the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower are often visible on the right.
Orly Airport Perimeter
A great view of the southern suburbs of Paris and the bustling activity of one of Europe's major aviation hubs.
The right side is essential for the iconic Paris skyline during landing. For morning flights, you may experience some glare from the sun, so keep your window shade ready. Keep an eye out about 30-40 minutes before landing for the distinct 'Puy' volcanic domes of the Massif Central.
