Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Aix-les-milles to Alice Springs. While the landing approach favors the left, the takeoff from Aix-les-Milles offers more sustained scenic value with the Alps and Rhône Valley. The right side captures the most dramatic mountain scenery during the initial climb phase, which typically provides the clearest, most extended views before cruising altitude.

During takeoff from Aix Les Milles (QXB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Rhône Valley and the Alps to the east as the aircraft climbs northeast from Aix-les-Milles. The left side faces inland toward lower terrain with fewer distinctive landmarks during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Mont Ventoux (visible as a distant peak to the northeast), the Rhône River valley below, the foothills of the Alps on the horizon, and the Luberon mountain range to the east.

When landing at Alice Springs (ASP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the MacDonnell Ranges and the West MacDonnell Ranges as the aircraft descends toward Alice Springs from the northwest. These dramatic red ridges dominate the approach and are the most visually striking features near the airport. Notable sights include: West MacDonnell Ranges (prominent red quartzite ridges), the Todd River valley, Alice Springs town and airport, and the flat red desert plains surrounding the ranges.

The flight from Aix Les Milles (QXB) to Alice Springs (ASP) takes Approximately 16-17 hours (including one or more stops; direct routing not typically available).

The flight path crosses the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal or Red Sea (depending on routing), the Arabian Peninsula, the Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean, and the Indian subcontinent before reaching Australia. Notable visible features include the Nile River delta (if routed via Suez), the Red Sea coastlines, the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey (if northerly routing), and the Western Ghats of India. The majority of the journey over open ocean and desert offers limited distinctive landmarks from cruise altitude.
