TLV โ CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Alps and clearer views of the Mediterranean islands like Cyprus and the Greek archipelago.
Tel Aviv Skyline
A stunning aerial perspective of the White City and its beaches immediately following takeoff.
Island of Cyprus
Clear views of the island's coastline and the Troodos Mountains as the flight heads northwest.
Aegean Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the scattered Greek islands, characterized by white architecture and dark blue sea.
The Alps
The flight's highlight: majestic snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross from Italy into France.
Loire Valley
Patterns of French farmland and occasional glimpses of historic chateaus during the final approach phase.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine scenery; look out for snow-capped peaks roughly 3 to 3.5 hours into the flight. For the best lighting, morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains and the Aegean islands perfectly.
Levantine Basin
Expansive views of the deep blue Eastern Mediterranean shortly after departure from Tel Aviv.
Southern Italy
Distant views of the 'boot' of Italy and potentially Mount Etna in Sicily depending on the specific air corridor.
French Riviera
Gliding past the turquoise waters of the Cรดte d'Azur and the rugged coastline of Southern France.
Massif Central
Ancient volcanic peaks and deep river gorges visible during the descent into the heart of France.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean and the French coast. During the initial climb, you get a great view of the Israeli coastline extending south towards Ashdod.
