Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (Ajaccio)?
Right Side of the Plane
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.
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.
Carcassonne Fortress
Look for the distinctive double-walled medieval citadel nestled in the Aude valley.
Golfe du Lion
Expansive views of the French Mediterranean coastline and the salt marshes of the Camargue.
Corsican Highlands
Panoramic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is ideal for spotting the unique geography of the Languedoc lagoons and the distant Massif Central. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the inland mountain views.
