Notable sights include: Seine River, Paris metropolitan area, Île-de-France agricultural plains, northern French countryside.

When landing at Shannon (SNN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide excellent views of the Shannon Estuary and the Irish coastline as you descend into Shannon. You'll see the Atlantic coast, Limerick area, and the distinctive funnel-shaped estuary that guides aircraft to the airport. Notable sights include: Shannon Estuary, Atlantic coastline, Limerick city area, Clare and Limerick countryside.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Shannon (SNN) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

Over the English Channel (approximately 20 minutes after takeoff), you'll see the Strait of Dover and the Normandy coast. The flight path crosses the Channel at its narrowest point, offering views of the French and English coastlines. Over the Celtic Sea (approximately 40 minutes into flight), the landscape transitions to open water with no significant landmarks until approaching the Irish coast near County Clare.
