Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Olbia. While the right side wins at CDG departure for Paris views, the left side delivers the more spectacular scenery overall — the Alps crossing in the middle of the flight and the stunning Sardinian coastal approach on landing make it the stronger choice for the full journey.

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 the dominant eastward departure, the right side gives you a clear view back over central Paris — the Seine, the Eiffel Tower area, and the dense urban grid of the city. On southward departures, the right side tracks the Marne valley and the outer suburbs. Notable sights include: Paris city center and Seine river bends, Eiffel Tower district (visible as a distant spire), Marne valley agricultural plains, Roissy-en-France suburban sprawl directly below.

When landing at Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB), sit on the Left side for the best views. OLB's primary runway is oriented roughly 05/23. On the common approach from the north on runway 05, the aircraft tracks over the Tyrrhenian Sea and turns in over the Gulf of Olbia. The left side gives you the best view of the Costa Smeralda coastline, the emerald-green shallow bays, and the granite headlands of northeastern Sardinia. Notable sights include: Gulf of Olbia and its narrow inlet, Costa Smeralda granite coastline, Tavolara island (distinctive flat-topped limestone monolith offshore), shallow turquoise lagoon waters near the airport threshold.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Olbia Costa Smeralda (OLB) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast from Paris over Burgundy and the Rhône valley, then crosses the French Alps — the Mont Blanc massif is visible to the left on a clear day as the highest peak in the range. The route then crosses the Gulf of Genoa and the Ligurian Sea before reaching Corsica, which passes to the right, and then the Tyrrhenian Sea leads down to Sardinia.
