The left side wins overall thanks to the Tuscan hill country on departure and, more importantly, the cruise-phase view of the western Alps near Mont Blanc, which the great-circle path skirts just to the south of the flight track — a dramatic mountain payoff that the flatter right side and Paris-plain approach can't match.
