Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Figari Sud-Corse Airport (Figari)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the volcanic Puys of Auvergne and the dramatic western coastline of Corsica, culminating in a breathtaking view of the Bonifacio cliffs on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

Loire Valley

Views of the winding Loire River and the historic châteaux scattered across the landscape.

🌋

Massif Central Volcanoes

The unique chain of dormant volcanic domes (Chaîne des Puys) in the Auvergne region.

⚓

Marseille & Calanques

Views of France's second-largest city and the stunning turquoise inlets of the Calanques National Park.

🏝️

Gulf of Porto

The dramatic red granite cliffs of Piana and the Scandola Nature Reserve visible during the descent.

🏛️

Bonifacio Cliffs

The most iconic view of the route: the white limestone cliffs and the citadel of Bonifacio perched on the edge.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing to see the Bonifacio cliffs during the final turn into Figari. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while over mainland France.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Parisian Outskirts

Aerial views of the southern suburbs of Paris and the Essonne department immediately after takeoff.

🍇

Burgundy Region

Expansive views of the rolling hills and famous vineyards of the Burgundy countryside.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon during the mid-flight cruise.

🌊

Côte d'Azur

The transition from the mainland to the Mediterranean Sea near the French Riviera.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The rugged 'finger' of northern Corsica as the aircraft makes its way down the eastern side of the island ridge.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the silhouette of the Alps in the distance. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Etang de Biguglia near Bastia if the route tracks slightly inland.
