Passengers on the left side will enjoy a panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range and the lush Béarn countryside as the aircraft climbs away from the runway.
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Pyrenees mountains immediately after takeoff, followed by the ancient volcanic peaks of the Massif Central and a potential view of the French Alps and Mont Blanc on approach to Lyon.
The Right Side offers a nearly continuous panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range to the south, the medieval fortress of Carcassonne, and the stunning coastline of the Mediterranean Sea as you approach Marseille.
The right side provides a spectacular farewell view of the Pyrenees peaks during the climb, followed by a panoramic perspective of the French countryside and the majestic Fontainebleau forest before descending into Orly.
The left side is generally superior for this route as it offers potential views of the Atlantic coastline in the distance during the climb and provides the most iconic views of the Paris city center, including the Eiffel Tower, during the standard arrival procedures into CDG.
