Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Yerevan. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach—the more memorable segment—strongly favors the left for views of Mount Ararat and the Aras River valley. The left side captures the dramatic approach to the Caucasus region.

During takeoff from Le Bourget (LBG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Le Bourget typically departs north or northeast. Right-side seats capture the Seine's northern loops around Paris, the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur dome in Montmartre, and the sprawl of northern suburbs receding toward the Île-de-France plateau. Left side faces inland farmland with less distinctive features. Notable sights include: Seine River (northern Paris meanders), Sacré-Cœur Basilica (white dome, visible ~15 km south), Montmartre district, northern Paris suburbs fading into agricultural plains.

When landing at Zvartnots (EVN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching Zvartnots from the west (typical arrival), left-side seats face the Ararat plain and Mount Ararat itself (visible on clear days ~50 km southwest in Turkey). The Aras River valley and Yerevan's urban sprawl unfold below. Right side shows less distinctive terrain—the Gegham Mountains are lower and less visually prominent from this angle. Notable sights include: Mount Ararat (snow-capped, distant southwestern horizon on clear days), Aras River valley (defining the Armenia-Turkey border), Yerevan urban area (sprawling grid), Gegham Mountains (low ridgeline to the northeast).

The flight from Le Bourget (LBG) to Zvartnots (EVN) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Alps (visible as a jagged white ridge during early climb, roughly 2 hours out), then traverses the Danube basin and Carpathian foothills. Around the 2.5-hour mark, the Black Sea appears on the left (northern coast visible). The flight then crosses Anatolia's interior plateau before descending into the Armenian highlands and Ararat plain. The Caucasus Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the east throughout the final approach.
