AMS → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most geographically diverse views, ranging from the High Alps to the Italian coast and the historic ruins of Carthage on approach.
Dutch Polders
Intricate patterns of reclaimed land and canals visible shortly after taking off from Amsterdam.
Swiss Alps
Majestic views of central snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys about one hour into the flight.
Italian Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and harbors of the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas as the plane heads south.
Carthage Ruins
The UNESCO-listed archaeological site and ancient Punic ports visible during the descent into Tunis.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic blue and white village perched on the cliffs of Cape Carthage just before landing.
Optimal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Look for the Alps roughly 55 minutes after departure. On the final approach to TUN, keep your eyes on the coastline for the circular ancient harbor of Carthage.
Corsica
Rugged mountainous terrain and the scalloped bays of the French island from high altitude.
Sardinia
Clear views of the northern Sardinian landscapes and the famous Emerald Coast.
French Alps
The western edge of the Alpine chain, including massive glaciers and high peaks like those in the Ecrins.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue sea and distant maritime traffic crossing between continents.
Tunis City
The sprawling urban landscape and the shallow Lake of Tunis during the final descent.
Best side for island enthusiasts. Expect to see the coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia halfway through the journey. During winter months, the snow-covered French Alps are more prominent on this side, though late afternoon flights may suffer from direct sun glare.
