Which side of the plane to sit from Ostrava Leos Janáček Airport (Ostrava) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior angle for spotting the Frankfurt skyline and often provides the iconic view of central Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, during the standard approach pattern into Charles de Gaulle.
Beskids & Jeseníky
Early flight views of the rolling mountain ranges surrounding the Moravian-Silesian region.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of the high-rise 'Mainhattan' financial district as the flight crosses central Germany.
The Rhine River
A clear crossing of the historic Rhine river valley, typically near the Mainz or Wiesbaden area.
Paris Cityscape
On southern approach patterns, the Eiffel Tower and urban sprawl of central Paris are visible.
Moravian Highlands
The picturesque landscape of central Czechia, characterized by small villages and agricultural patchwork.
Book a seat on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over Western Europe. During descent, stay alert about 15 minutes before landing; if the aircraft loops south of Paris, you will have the best vantage point for the city's famous monuments. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through haze over the Rhine.
Ostrava Industrial Heritage
Immediate views of the Lower Vítkovice area and Ostrava's industrial landscape right after takeoff.
Prague Panorama
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is frequently visible to the north when flying the standard corridor.
Erzgebirge Mountains
The forested border region between Czechia and Germany, providing lush green scenery in summer.
Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of the world-famous vineyards near Reims as you enter French airspace.
CDG Airport Complex
A full view of the massive Terminal 2 and airport infrastructure during the final landing phase.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Watch for Prague roughly 25 minutes after departure. Seasonal tip: In autumn, the vineyards of the Champagne region turn a vibrant gold and are particularly striking from this side of the aircraft.
