TLM → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Zenata – Messali El Hadj Airport (Tlemcen) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the vibrant Algerian coastline near Oran, the volcanic landscapes of Central France, and a higher probability of seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline during the approach to Orly.

Gulf of Oran
A clear view of Algeria's second-largest city and its massive port shortly after departure.
Balearic Sea
Vibrant blue Mediterranean waters with potential distant sightings of the Balearic Islands.
Chaîne des Puys
The iconic chain of dormant volcanic domes in the Massif Central region of France.
Paris Landmarks
On the final approach into Orly, the right side often provides glimpses of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine.
Choose the right side for the best chance of seeing the Paris skyline. If the wind is coming from the West (typical), the plane will often circle around the city from the east, putting the Eiffel Tower and the city center squarely in your window. This side also avoids the glare of the setting sun on evening flights, making it perfect for photography of the Massif Central volcanoes.

Algerian Littoral
Stunning views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the western Algerian coastline immediately after takeoff.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic aerial perspectives of the snow-capped border between Spain and France.
Toulouse
The 'Pink City' and the Garonne River often visible as the flight transitions into French airspace.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Look for the historic estates and winding rivers of the Centre-Val de Loire region during the descent.
The left side is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing clear, front-lit views of the Pyrenees. However, during afternoon flights, this side can be quite bright and hot due to the direct western sun. Keep an eye out for the Garonne River as it provides a great navigational landmark for spotting Toulouse.
