Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Delhi. Left seats provide superior views on both departure (Paris basin and northern French countryside) and especially on arrival (Yamuna River, Delhi's urban landscape, and Aravalli Hills). The landing approach offers more dramatic and geographically distinctive features than the takeoff.

During takeoff from Le Bourget (LBG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Le Bourget typically departs runway 26 (westbound) or 08 (eastbound). Right-side seats on an eastbound departure offer views of Paris's urban sprawl and the Seine valley as you climb. On westbound departures, right seats show the northern Île-de-France countryside receding beneath you. Notable sights include: Paris city center and La Défense business district, Seine River valley, Île-de-France agricultural plains, Montmorency Forest to the north.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Indira Gandhi International typically uses runways 09L/27R or 09R/27L depending on wind. On approach from the west (standard routing from Europe), left-side seats offer views of Delhi's sprawling urban landscape, the Yamuna River, and the Aravalli Hills as you descend. The city's grid pattern and major landmarks become increasingly visible. Notable sights include: Yamuna River, Delhi's urban sprawl and grid-pattern neighborhoods, Aravalli Hills to the south and east, Indus Valley plains extending westward.

The flight from Le Bourget (LBG) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 8 hours 15 minutes to 8 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Alps (visible around 1.5–2 hours into flight, with Mont Blanc and the main Alpine ridge on the left/north side), then descends into the Mediterranean basin. Over the eastern Mediterranean, you'll pass south of Turkey and Cyprus. The Taurus Mountains appear along Turkey's southern coast. Crossing into the Middle East, the flight passes over Syria, Iraq, and Iran—the Zagros Mountains form a dramatic ridge along Iran's western edge (visible on the left/north around 5–6 hours into flight). The Hindu Kush and Pamir ranges lie to the north but remain distant. As you approach Delhi, the Indus Valley plains dominate, with the Aravalli Hills becoming prominent in the final descent phase.
