Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Perth. The right side offers superior scenery on both legs: the Seine and Paris suburbs on departure, and during the long overwater crossing, right-side seats face toward the Middle East and North Africa, capturing the Atlas Mountains, Sahara, Red Sea, and Arabian Peninsula — far more dramatic than the left side's view of open ocean and North Africa's interior.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Seine River winding through Paris and the sprawling suburban landscape east of CDG. The airport sits northeast of central Paris, so a right-bank climb-out captures the river's curves and the urban-to-rural transition clearly. Notable sights include: Seine River (visible as silvery curves below), Paris urban sprawl to the southwest, Marne River confluence, suburban towns of Meaux and Lagny-sur-Marne to the east.

When landing at Perth International (PER), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Indian Ocean coastline and Perth's distinctive geography during approach. Perth International lies south of the city on a peninsula, so left-bank descent captures the Swan River estuary, Fremantle port, and the ocean meeting the coast. Notable sights include: Indian Ocean (eastern coastline), Swan River estuary and Fremantle Harbour, Perth city skyline to the north, Rottnest Island (visible offshore to the west).

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Perth International (PER) takes Approximately 14-15 hours (including one technical stop, typically in the Middle East or Southeast Asia, depending on routing).

This route typically routes south over the Mediterranean, then across North Africa (Atlas Mountains visible on right side), the Sahara Desert, the Red Sea, the Arabian Peninsula, the Persian Gulf region, and across the Indian Ocean via the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Right-side passengers see the Atlas Mountains (Morocco/Algeria border), the Sahara's vast dune fields and rocky plateaus, the Red Sea's narrow blue corridor between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and the mountainous terrain of Oman and the UAE. The flight crosses approximately 12,000 km of diverse terrain and water before reaching the Australian continent.
