Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Sudetes mountain range shortly after takeoff, followed by the lush landscapes of central Germany and a high probability of spotting the Champagne region and Disneyland Paris during the descent into CDG.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sudetes Mountains

Shortly after takeoff, view the rugged peaks of the Karkonosze range forming the natural border between Poland and Czechia.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Observe the dense, dark green canopy of one of Germany's most iconic highland forest regions.

🍇

Champagne Region

As you enter French airspace, look for the neatly organized patterns of world-famous vineyards around Reims.

🏰

Reims Cathedral

A glimpse of the massive Gothic structure where French kings were once crowned, visible amidst the urban sprawl.

🎢

Disneyland Paris

On the standard arrival route (STAR) into CDG, the theme park and its iconic castle are often clearly visible to the south.

Sit on the left for the best lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the Marne Valley. If the plane circles before landing, this side often provides a distant view of the Eiffel Tower if the weather is exceptionally clear.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Leipzig Cityscape

A clear view of the historic city center and the massive logistics hubs of central Germany.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

To the north, the Brocken peak often stands out above the clouds as the highest point in Northern Germany.

🌳

The Ardennes

The rolling, forested hills of the Belgian and French border region, known for its deep river valleys.

🌊

Oise River

Watch the winding path of the Oise river as it cuts through the northern French countryside towards the Seine.

🏗️

CDG Airport Infrastructure

Get a birds-eye view of the massive terminal complexes and the complex taxiway systems of Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the European plains. It provides a better view of the massive scale of CDG's northern terminal area during landing. Keep an eye out for the historic town of Senlis just before touchdown.
