CGN → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and provides a front-row seat to the dramatic western coastline of Corsica and the historic ruins of Carthage upon arrival.
Alsace Vineyards
The patchwork of green vineyards stretching across the French-German border region.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake that marks the border between Switzerland and France.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, usually visible in the distance over the French Alps.
Western Corsica
Dramatic, jagged cliffs and secluded coves along the rugged coast of the 'Island of Beauty'.
Sardinian Coastline
Crystal clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches as you pass the island's western edge.
Carthage Ruins
The archaeological remains of the ancient Punic and Roman city near the Tunisian coast.
The right side is the premium choice for mountain lovers, as it provides the best angle for spotting Mont Blanc. For photography, avoid rows 12 through 22 to ensure the wing does not obstruct your view of the Corsican cliffs. During descent, look closely for the circular ancient Punic military harbor of Carthage.
Palatinate Forest
Dense, sprawling woodlands of southwestern Germany visible shortly after takeoff.
Central Swiss Alps
A breathtaking panorama of the high-altitude peaks near the Bernese Oberland.
Lake Lucerne
The complex, fjord-like shape of this Swiss lake nestled between steep mountains.
Island of Elba
The historic Tuscan island appears as a green jewel in the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Gulf of Tunis
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic cliffside village known for its white walls and blue doors, visible on northern approaches.
To maximize your experience, choose a morning flight to avoid the glare of the sun. The left side is particularly rewarding if the aircraft approaches Tunis Carthage Airport from the north (Runway 19), offering a stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline and the artistic village of Sidi Bou Said.
