Left Side Highlights

🏛️

Ancient Carthage & Gulf of Tunis

Aerial view of the historic ruins of Carthage and the turquoise waters of the gulf immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Balearic Archipelago

Clear views of Menorca and Mallorca's rugged northern coastlines as the flight traverses the western Mediterranean.

🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

Spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France, including the high summits of the Ariège region.

🏰

Carcassonne Fortress

On a clear day, the famous medieval walled city may be visible as the aircraft enters French airspace.

🍇

Bordeaux Vineyards

The lush green landscapes of the Entre-Deux-Mers wine region as the plane descends toward Mérignac.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon as you approach Bordeaux. This side provides the best angle for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the scenic highlight of the route. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountains isn't obstructed by the engine.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Tyrrhenian & Mediterranean Expanse

Vast deep blue sea views with occasional sightings of commercial shipping lanes connecting Africa and Europe.

⛰️

Sardinian Coastline

Depending on the specific airway, the rugged western cliffs of Sardinia may be visible in the distance.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

Distal views of the French Mediterranean coast, including the areas near Montpellier and the Camargue wetlands.

🌲

Massif Central Foothills

The rolling green hills and dense forests of the southern French interior during the mid-flight phase.

🏙️

Bordeaux Cityscape

Depending on the landing pattern, you may get an excellent view of the Garonne River and the 'Port of the Moon' city center.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a more consistent view of the French countryside and the Garonne river valley. Keep an eye out for the unique circular irrigation patterns in the southern French agricultural zones.
