Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Berlin skyline during departure, a clearer view of central Paris landmarks if the route tracks south, and a front-row seat to the world-famous châteaux along the Loire River.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Berlin City Center

Aerial views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and Tiergarten shortly after taking off from the former Tegel site.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The scenic Brocken peak and the dense, dark forests of Germany's northernmost mountain range.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur are visible to the south when bypassing the French capital.

🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

View the architectural wonders of Chambord and Blois as the plane follows the river toward Nantes.

🌊

Loire Estuary

The wide, shimmering waters of the Loire River as it approaches the Atlantic Ocean during the final descent.

Book a window seat on the left for the best orientation to avoid direct sun glare during morning flights. The most spectacular views of the Loire Valley castles occur approximately 15-20 minutes before touchdown at NTE. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white limestone cliffs along the riverbanks near Saumur.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏞️

Steinhuder Meer

A large, shallow lake near Hanover that serves as a prominent landmark in the Northern German Plain.

🏭

Ruhr Industrial Area

The sprawling urban and industrial landscape of western Germany, including Dortmund and Essen.

🛫

Paris-CDG Airport

The complex layout of Europe's second-busiest airport is often visible from high altitude to the north.

⛪

Chartres Cathedral

The massive twin spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site stand out against the flat wheat fields of the Beauce region.

🌾

Pays de la Loire Countryside

A patchwork of green hedgerows and traditional French farmland typical of the western regions.

The right side is ideal for spotting aviation enthusiasts' landmarks like the Charles de Gaulle airport hub. On exceptionally clear days, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Normandy coastline. This side is typically shadowed in the afternoon, providing a cooler cabin and easier screen visibility if you are working.
