QSF → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Ain Arnat Airport (Setif) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route because it offers views of the rugged Kabylie mountains during departure and provides a higher probability of seeing the Paris city center and Eiffel Tower on the final approach into Orly depending on the landing pattern.
