Search flights from TNR to ORY
Mount Kilimanjaro
The snow-capped 'Roof of Africa' is often visible rising above the clouds in northern Tanzania.
Mount Kenya
The jagged, glaciated peaks of Africa's second-highest mountain are a major highlight of the Kenyan crossing.
Ethiopian Highlands
Dramatic cliffs and deep gorges of the Simien and Bale mountains, often called the 'Roof of Africa'.
The Nile River
A vibrant green ribbon of life winding through the stark desert landscape of Sudan and Egypt.
The European Alps
A spectacular finale featuring the snow-drenched peaks of the French and Swiss Alps before descending toward Paris.
The right side is essential for seeing the Great Rift Valley peaks. Since TNR-ORY flights are typically overnight, the sunrise over the Ethiopian Highlands or the Nile is a highlight. Use a flight tracker to time your view of Kilimanjaro, which usually occurs about 3 hours after departure.

Mozambique Channel
Clear views of the turquoise waters and the western coastline of Madagascar shortly after takeoff.
Lake Victoria
The western shores of Africa's largest lake, visible as the flight crosses the equator.
Libyan Desert
The vast, undulating orange dunes of the Sahara stretch out toward the western horizon.
Corsica
The rugged, mountainous island of Corsica appears as you cross the Mediterranean into French airspace.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic peaks of south-central France provide a scenic approach into the Paris basin.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the sunset over the Sahara desert, which is particularly striking on northern hemisphere summer flights. During the early morning descent into Orly, the left side often provides a broader view of the Parisian suburbs and the Seine river loops.
