BFS â NBE
Which side of the plane to sit from Belfast International Airport (Belfast) to Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (Enfidha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks on this North-to-South journey, including the rugged beauty of the Mediterranean islands and a scenic arrival over the Gulf of Hammamet.
Strangford Lough
Immediately after takeoff, view this large sea lough and the rolling drumlins of County Down.
Distant Alpine Peaks
As you traverse central France, look toward the horizon to spot the snow-capped French Alps.
Corsica & Sardinia
The route typically passes close to the dramatic, mountainous coastlines of these Mediterranean islands.
Gulf of Hammamet
A stunning turquoise view of the Tunisian coast as the aircraft banks for its final approach.
Sousse Skyline
Views of the ancient coastal city and its modern resorts just before touching down at Enfidha.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Mediterranean, as the contrast between the deep blue water and the islands is spectacular. Watch for the transition from the lush greens of Northern Ireland to the arid, golden tones of the Tunisian landscape.
Welsh Coastline
Excellent views of the Pembrokeshire coast and the Bristol Channel if the path stays west.
Loire Valley
Fly over the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic chateaus and winding river systems.
Balearic Sea
Vast, sun-drenched views of the Mediterranean expanse between Spain and North Africa.
Sebkha Halk El Menzel
A large salt lake north of the airport that appears as a shimmering white or pink basin.
Enfidha Olive Groves
The geometric patterns of Tunisia's massive olive plantations during the low-altitude descent.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight heading south. As you approach Enfidha, look for the unique agricultural patterns and salt lakes that define the Sahel region of Tunisia. This side often provides better views of the airfield itself during certain landing patterns.
