Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Delhi. While takeoff favors left seats for Paris views, the landing approach into Delhi on right seats is more visually rewarding and offers the Yamuna River as a major geographic feature. Right seats also capture more of the flight path's eastern approach corridor.

During takeoff from Orly (ORY), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer views of the Seine's meanders through central Paris and the city's eastern sprawl toward Marne-la-Vallée. Right seats face the industrial suburbs and lack distinctive landmarks during initial climb. Notable sights include: Seine River (winding through Paris), Notre-Dame and Île de la Cité, Sacré-Cœur basilica on Montmartre, Bois de Vincennes forest.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide views of the Yamuna River's approach to Delhi and the city's eastern districts. The river is a major visual reference during descent, and right-side seats face the flight path directly into Indira Gandhi International. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (brown-water tributary), Delhi's urban sprawl and grid pattern, Aravalli Hills (distant, low ridges to the south), Noida industrial zone across the river.

The flight from Orly (ORY) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes 7h 35m.

The flight path crosses the Alps (visible as a major snow-capped ridge system during climb-out over eastern France), the Adriatic Sea (narrow blue strip between Italy and the Balkans), the Carpathian Mountains (lower, forested ridges in Romania), the Black Sea (large dark water body), Anatolia's high plateau (Turkey), the Caucasus Mountains (southern horizon), and the Iranian plateau before descending into the Indus-Ganges corridor. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers are visible over Iraq as thin brown lines through desert. The Hindu Kush and Pamir ranges form a dramatic snow-capped wall on the northern horizon during the approach to South Asia.
