Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Auvergne at departure, a distant but clear view of the Paris skyline mid-flight, and the iconic white chalk cliffs of the English coast before the final approach over the London outskirts.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Chaรฎne des Puys

A stunning view of the dormant volcanic domes and craters of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park.

๐Ÿ—ผ

Paris Panorama

In clear weather, the entire urban sprawl of Paris is visible, including the distinct shape of the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Somme Estuary

The intricate sandbanks and tidal patterns of the Baie de Somme where the river meets the English Channel.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Beachy Head

The highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, featuring a brilliant white facade and the famous lighthouse at its base.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

London Skyline

During the descent into Stansted, enjoy views of the Shard, Canary Wharf, and the meandering River Thames.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the French volcanic region. Watch closely about 40 minutes into the flight for the Paris skyline on the horizon.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
๐Ÿž๏ธ

Aveyron Countryside

Deeply incised river valleys and the rugged limestone plateaus of the Rouergue region immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿท

Loire Valley

Views of the sprawling vineyards and the winding Loire River near the city of Tours as you head north.

๐ŸŒŠ

Alabaster Coast

The dramatic vertical white cliffs of Normandy stretching towards Le Havre as the aircraft departs French airspace.

๐Ÿšค

The Solent

On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the Isle of Wight and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.

Sit behind the wing for the best view of the French coastline. This side is better for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel northbound.
