BCN → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most spectacular scenery, featuring bird's-eye views of the Balearic Islands mid-flight and the historic Carthage ruins upon arrival.
Mallorca
Stunning views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the coastline of Palma.
Menorca
The rugged northern coast and secluded bays of the second-largest Balearic island.
Carthage
The sprawling archaeological remains of the ancient Punic and Roman capital near the coast.
Lake of Tunis
The massive lagoon separating the Mediterranean from the Tunis city center.
For the best view of the Balearic Islands, sit on the right side. During the final approach, this side provides an unbeatable view of the Carthage ruins and the thermal baths of Antoninus. High visibility is common, making winter flights equally scenic.
Mediterranean Sea
Vast expanses of the deep blue Balearic Sea during the cruise phase.
Cape Bon
The dramatic northernmost tip of the Tunisian peninsula as you approach the coast.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic blue-and-white village perched on the cliffs of the Gulf of Tunis.
Gulf of Tunis
Busy maritime lanes and coastal scenery as the plane aligns for its final descent.
Mid-day flights highlight the intense turquoise of the water. Watch for the distinctive white architecture of Sidi Bou Said roughly 10 minutes before landing when the plane enters the bay.
