Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic scenic progression, featuring the Loire Valley chateaux, a spectacular traverse over the Pyrenees mountains, and the rugged Spanish Mediterranean coastline before the final approach into Algeria.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Loire Valley

Look down upon the 'Garden of France' to spot historic chateaux and the wide sandbanks of the Loire River.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

The flight path often provides a stunning crossing over the snow-capped peaks that separate France and Spain.

🏖️

Spanish Levante

Follow the vibrant blue coastline of the Mediterranean, passing near the cities of Barcelona and Valencia.

🌊

Alboran Sea Crossing

A brief but beautiful blue-water crossing between the European and African continents.

🌳

Lalla Setti Plateau

A bird's-eye view of the forested plateau and the historic city of Tlemcen during the final landing sequence.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route, particularly for the Pyrenees crossing. To maximize the view of the Spanish coast and the Tlemcen plateau, book a window seat away from the wing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Algerian landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🗼

Greater Paris Area

Aerial views of the sprawling southern suburbs and the Seine river winding through the Ile-de-France region.

⛰️

Massif Central

Observe the ancient, rounded volcanic peaks and deep valleys of central France's rugged heartland.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Mallorca and Ibiza are visible across the Mediterranean expanse.

🏔️

Tell Atlas Mountains

Dramatic views of the Algerian mountain ranges rising sharply as the plane makes its inland approach.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It provides better perspectives of the Mediterranean islands and the inland mountain ranges of Northern Algeria during the descent.
