Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lome to Paris. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over West Africa and the Sahara, the left side also tends to offer slightly better views of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria as the route curves northeast toward France.

During takeoff from Lome Tokoin (LFW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Lomé sits right on the Gulf of Guinea coast, and a northbound departure off runway 04 puts the Atlantic coastline and the city's beachfront on the left side. You get a clear view of the lagoon system behind the city and the long sandy barrier beach stretching west toward Ghana. Notable sights include: Gulf of Guinea coastline, Lomé city center and port, Lake Togo lagoon system, barrier beach strip.

When landing at Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically uses easterly runways 26L/26R for arrivals from the south, meaning the approach track comes from the southeast. A left-side seat gives you views over central Paris including the Seine river bends, Eiffel Tower, and the dense Haussmann urban grid as you descend through the Île-de-France. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through Paris, Eiffel Tower, La Défense business district, Stade de France.

The flight from Lome Tokoin (LFW) to Charles De Gaulle (CDG) takes Approximately 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours.

The route tracks north over Benin and Nigeria, then across the Sahara Desert over Niger and Algeria with vast sand seas and rocky hamada plateaus, crossing the Atlas Mountains of northern Algeria and the Mediterranean coast near the Gulf of Lion, then over southern France across the Massif Central highlands before descending into the Paris basin.
