BSL β DJE
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama featuring the highest peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, followed by a spectacular longitudinal view of the rugged coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia.
Mont Blanc
The roof of Europe is often visible in the distance to the west as you traverse the Swiss-French border.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the Jura Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop.
Corsica
Aerial views of the 'Island of Beauty' with its snow-capped peaks and jagged western coastline.
Sardinia
Observe the emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda and the rugged terrain of northern Sardinia.
Gulf of Hammamet
The sweeping white sandy beaches of the Tunisian coast appearing as you approach the destination.
Sahara Fringes
The transition from Mediterranean blue to the arid, golden hues of the Tunisian landscape near Djerba.
The right side is unbeatable for island spotting. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the left, providing perfect lighting for photos of Corsica's granite cliffs. During the descent into Djerba Zarzis, you will likely see the turquoise lagoons of the island, which are most vibrant between 10 AM and 2 PM.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau massifs shortly after departure from Basel.
Italian Lake District
Glances of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding foothills of the southern Alps.
Milan Urban Sprawl
The expansive metropolitan landscape of Lombardy visible as the plane clears the mountains.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean vistas as the flight heads south towards the North African coast.
El Kantara Causeway
The ancient Roman bridge connecting Djerba to the Tunisian mainland visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you are on a late afternoon flight to avoid the setting sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the central spine of the Apennine Mountains in Italy if the flight path shifts slightly east. Keep an eye out for the island of Elba about halfway through the journey.
