The right side offers a superior view of the Pyrenees range on departure and the spectacular red cliffs of the UNESCO-listed Corsican coastline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Pyrenees Horizon

The snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are often visible to the south shortly after leaving Toulouse.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue sea as the flight transitions from mainland France to the island.

🚤

Scandola Nature Reserve

Stunning volcanic rock formations and secret coves along the West Corsican coast.

🧗

Calanques de Piana

Dramatic red granite cliffs plunging into the turquoise sea, visible during the descent into Ajaccio.

🏝️

Sanguinaires Islands

The four porphyry islands marking the entrance to the Gulf of Ajaccio just before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Ajaccio. Request a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the red cliffs and the blue sea. In the afternoon, the setting sun illuminates the Corsican coast in vibrant orange hues.

Toulouse Cityscape

Bird's-eye view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River immediately after takeoff.

Canal du Midi

Spot the historic UNESCO waterway winding its way through the Occitanie countryside.
