Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Tromso. The right side wins overall. While the left side has the Paris departure advantage, the right side delivers the more dramatic scenery for the majority of the flight — the Scandinavian coastline, Norwegian fjords during the descent, the Lyngen Alps on approach, and the spectacular Arctic island setting of Tromsø on landing. The right side also tracks closer to the Norwegian coast during cruise.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically departs eastward on runways 08L/08R or northward on 09L/09R. A left-side seat gives you a view back toward central Paris as you climb out — the Seine river bends, the Eiffel Tower, and the dense urban grid of the city are clearly visible to the south. Right side faces industrial suburbs and flat agricultural land. Notable sights include: Seine river bends south of Paris, Eiffel Tower and central Paris skyline, La Défense business district towers to the west, Stade de France near Saint-Denis.

When landing at Tromso (TOS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Tromsø airport sits on the island of Tromsøya, and aircraft typically approach from the south or southwest over the fjord on runway 01/19. A right-side seat gives you the best view of the Tromsøysund strait, the mainland mountains of the Lyngen Alps to the east, and the snow-covered island terrain. Left side faces the open Norwegian Sea with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Tromsøysund strait between the island and mainland, Lyngen Alps on the eastern mainland horizon, snow-covered Tromsøya island terrain, Tromsø city center and harbor visible below.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Tromso (TOS) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over Belgium and the North Sea, then crosses the southern tip of Norway near Stavanger before following the Norwegian coast northward. Notable features include the Skagerrak strait between Denmark and Norway, the rugged Norwegian coastal fjords becoming increasingly dramatic past Bergen, the Lofoten archipelago visible to the west as the route approaches northern Norway, and the transition into Arctic terrain with snow-covered plateaus and frozen lakes of the Finnmark region before descending toward Tromsø.
