Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lima to Paris. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. At departure you get Lima's coastal cliffs and the Andes wall, and at arrival you get the Paris basin and central city landmarks on approach. The right side offers open Atlantic for most of the cruise, which is featureless.

During takeoff from Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Jorge Chavez typically departs on runway 15 heading southeast, then aircraft turn north over the Pacific. The left (west) side faces the Pacific Ocean and Lima's coastal district of Miraflores and Barranco along the clifftop shoreline. As the aircraft banks north, the left side then picks up the Andes rising dramatically east of the city. Notable sights include: Pacific Ocean coastline with Lima's clifftop districts, Miraflores and Barranco cliffs, the Rio Rimac valley cutting into the Andes, Cordillera Occidental peaks including Nevado Ticlio visible to the east.

When landing at Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically lands on runways 26L/26R heading west, meaning the left (south) side looks toward central Paris. On approach from the east, the left seat gives a clear view of the Seine river bends, the Eiffel Tower, and the dense Haussmann grid of central Paris as the aircraft descends over the Ile-de-France. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through central Paris, Eiffel Tower, La Defense business district towers, Bois de Boulogne.

The flight from Jorge Chavez International (LIM) to Charles De Gaulle (CDG) takes Approximately 12 to 13 hours.

After departing Lima the route tracks north over the Pacific briefly before crossing the Colombian and Venezuelan coast. The flight then crosses the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, passing north of the Azores archipelago in the mid-Atlantic. Over Europe the route crosses the Iberian Peninsula, the Pyrenees, and the Bay of Biscay before entering France from the southwest.
