Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Bangalore. The left side wins overall. The Paris departure view is genuinely spectacular and hard to beat. Through the flight, the left side also tracks the southern edge of the Alps during the cruise over Europe, and later gives views over the Arabian Sea coastline and the Western Ghats escarpment as you cross into India. The Bangalore arrival on the right is good but brief, so the superior departure and mid-flight geography tips the balance to the left.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically departs eastward on runways 08L/08R or southward on 26L/26R. On an eastbound departure toward the southeast, the left side gives you a view back over central Paris — the Seine river bends, the Eiffel Tower, and the dense urban grid of the city are clearly visible during the climb-out. The right side faces north toward flat agricultural Île-de-France with little of note. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through Paris, Eiffel Tower (visible as a thin spire from altitude), dense Haussmann urban grid of central Paris, Bois de Vincennes forest to the southeast.

When landing at Bangalore (BLR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Kempegowda International Airport Bangalore typically uses runways 09/27. On approach from the northwest on runway 09 (heading east), the right side faces south toward the city of Bangalore itself — you get a clear view of the urban sprawl, Ulsoor Lake, and Hebbal Lake as you descend. The left side faces north toward flat scrubland of the Deccan Plateau with little visual interest. Notable sights include: Bangalore urban sprawl and IT corridor, Hebbal Lake (large water body near the airport approach), Ulsoor Lake in the city interior, flat red-soil Deccan Plateau terrain.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Bangalore (BLR) takes Approximately 9 to 10 hours.

The route tracks southeast from Paris over the Alps (Mont Blanc massif visible on the left at cruise altitude), then over northern Italy and the Adriatic Sea, across Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, over Turkey or Cyprus depending on routing, then across the Arabian Peninsula or Iran, over the Arabian Sea, and finally crossing the Western Ghats mountain range before descending onto the flat Deccan Plateau toward Bangalore. The Alps, the Zagros Mountains of Iran, and the Western Ghats are the three most visually dramatic geographic features en route.
