SVQ → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Madrid metropolitan area, the high peaks of the Pyrenees, and the most iconic views of the Paris skyline during the approach to Orly.
Madrid Region
The sprawling urban expanse of the Spanish capital and the Four Towers Business Area visible in the distance.
Sistema Central
The snow-capped peaks of Sierra de Guadarrama, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding Meseta.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing over the high mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Parisian Skyline
Frequent views of the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse, and the Sacré-Cœur during the final approach pattern into Orly.
This is the prime side for photography. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to capture the Pyrenees peaks. On the arrival into Orly, the plane often performs a loop that puts the Eiffel Tower and central Paris directly in your window view. Sunset flights offer a golden glow over the Spanish mountains.
Sierra Morena
The rugged southern edge of the Iberian Plateau, featuring dense Mediterranean forests and rolling hills.
Bay of Biscay
Panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline where Spain meets France near Biarritz.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards surrounding the Garonne river in Southwest France.
Loire Valley
Glances of the silver Loire River and the historic estates scattered throughout the 'Garden of France'.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Atlantic coastline and the winding Garonne river. These views are best during clear summer days when the green of the French countryside is most vibrant.
