About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Sud Corse (FSC)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Figari. While the right side wins at takeoff for the Paris panorama, the left side dominates the majority of the flight. Once airborne and tracking southeast, the left side picks up the Burgundy plateau, then the French Alps including Mont Blanc on clear days, then the Italian Ligurian coast, and finally the dramatic Corsican mountain interior on descent. The Alpine section alone makes the left side the stronger overall choice.
