ORY โ CZL
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (Constantine)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the French coastline upon departure and the dramatic cliffside geography of Constantine upon arrival, including better views of the iconic bridges.
Fontainebleau Forest
Large expanse of historic royal hunting grounds visible shortly after taking off from Orly.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the Chaรฎne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanic craters in central France.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.
Mediterranean Crossing
Vibrant blue waters as the flight transitions from the European continent toward North Africa.
Tell Atlas Range
The dramatic rise of the Algerian mountains as you cross the coastline near Bejaรฏa or Jijel.
Constantine Bridges
The 'City of Bridges' becomes visible on the plateau, featuring the spectacular Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the descent into Constantine, this side provides the most direct view of the city's unique limestone cliffs and the historic Casbah perched above the Rhumel Gorge.
Loire Valley Fringe
Distant glimpses of the winding river and valley landscapes to the west during the early cruise phase.
Puy de Dรดme
The highest peak in the Massif Central region is often visible as a prominent landmark to the west.
Pyrenees Horizon
A faint view of the mountain range separating France and Spain may be visible in the far distance.
Balearic Islands
During the Mediterranean transit, you may spot the western edge of the Balearic archipelago.
Rhumel Gorge
Deep limestone canyons carved by the Rhumel River visible during the final approach pattern.
Roman Ruins Path
Overhead views of the historic landscapes of Numidia as the plane approaches the Constantine plateau.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean or the Atlas Mountains. On the approach to CZL, keep your camera ready for the deep river valleys that define the city's defensive landscape.
