Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more consistent view of major landmarks including the Berlin metropolitan area, the winding Rhine River, and the northern architecture of Paris upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Berlin Cityscape

The German capital, including the iconic TV Tower, is often clearly visible on the northern horizon.

🏔️

Harz National Park

The Brocken peak and dense forests of northern Germany offer striking views during clear weather.

🌊

The Rhine River

A silver thread of water winding through industrial and historic landscapes near the German-Benelux border.

⛪

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

The white domes atop Montmartre are frequently visible during the final approach into Charles de Gaulle.

🏟️

Stade de France

The massive national stadium in Saint-Denis is a primary landmark for flights landing from the north.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun. Watch for Berlin approximately 40-50 minutes after takeoff. During landing, the right side usually provides a closer look at the Paris suburbs and the Sacré-Cœur.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Sudetes Mountains

The rugged peaks along the Polish-Czech border are visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Expansive green canopies and rolling hills across central Germany provide a scenic mid-flight backdrop.

🍇

Champagne Vineyards

Distinctive geometric patterns of the famous French wine region appearing during the initial descent.

🗼

Eiffel Tower

Can be spotted in the distance if the aircraft approaches CDG from the south or performs a loop.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Sudetes mountains early on. On late afternoon flights, be prepared for direct sunlight; use a window shade or polarizer. This side is superior if the arrival pattern swings south of Paris.
