Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Cagliari. The right side delivers the Paris departure view which is the highlight of this route — a clear look at one of the world's most recognizable cities. The Cagliari arrival on the left is excellent but the Paris departure on the right is the more spectacular single moment. If you must pick one side for the whole flight, right gives you Paris on departure and still offers reasonable views of the Ligurian coast and Tyrrhenian Sea during cruise.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Right side for the best views. CDG typically departs eastward on runways 09L/09R or southward on 27L/27R depending on wind. On an eastbound/southbound departure toward the Mediterranean, the right side gives you the best view of Paris city center as the aircraft banks south. You'll see the Seine river snaking through the city, with the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban grid of central Paris clearly visible before the aircraft climbs out over the Île-de-France plateau. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through Paris, Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars, Bois de Vincennes forest to the southeast, urban sprawl of the southern Paris suburbs.

When landing at Elmas (CAG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Cagliari's Elmas airport typically lands on runway 14 (southeast) or runway 32 (northwest). On a runway 14 approach from the northwest, the left side faces east toward the Sardinian interior and the Campidano plain, but more importantly gives a clear view of the Golfo di Cagliari, the city of Cagliari itself perched on its limestone hill, and the shallow Stagno di Cagliari lagoon system. These are the most visually striking features on approach. Notable sights include: Golfo di Cagliari (wide bay), Stagno di Cagliari and Stagno di Santa Gilla lagoons, Cagliari city on its limestone ridge, Campidano plain stretching north.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Elmas (CAG) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The route tracks southeast over the Rhône Valley corridor in southern France, then crosses the French Riviera coastline near Nice or Marseille, offering views of the Alps to the northeast during cruise. The aircraft then crosses the Ligurian Sea and the northern Tyrrhenian Sea before reaching Sardinia. The Corsican mountains may be visible to the east depending on exact routing, and the Sardinian northern coastline appears before the descent into Cagliari.
