Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Rhône Valley and approaches the Alps' western foothills. Around the midpoint (roughly over Lyon area), right-side passengers may glimpse the Mont Blanc massif on the eastern horizon and the Massif Central's northern edge to the left. The Rhône River itself is visible as a thin silver line threading through the valley. The landscape transitions from Mediterranean scrubland to temperate forest and agricultural plains, with increasing urbanization as the aircraft approaches the Île-de-France region.
