DJE โ BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
Flying north from Tunisia, the left side provides the most dramatic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc.
Djerba Coastline
Aerial view of the island's unique circular shape and the surrounding shallow turquoise lagoons immediately after takeoff.
Mediterranean Crossing
A vast blue expanse that often features sightings of the rugged western coastlines of Sardinia and Corsica.
French Alps
Breathtaking perspectives of the highest European peaks, including the massive glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif.
Burgundy Region
The intricate patchwork of world-famous vineyards and medieval villages across central France.
Wallonia Landscapes
Rolling green hills and historic chateaus as the plane enters Belgian airspace from the south.
Brussels Approach
Clear views of the suburban sprawl of Flanders and the northern outskirts of the capital during descent.
Book a seat on the left side for morning flights to enjoy perfectly illuminated Alpine peaks without sun glare. Seats in front of the wing provide the best unobstructed view of the Djerba coastline during the steep climb out of DJE. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of the Gulf of Lion as you approach the European mainland.
Gulf of Gabรจs
The eastern curve of the Tunisian mainland and the industrial ports near Sfax visible shortly after departure.
Sardinian Interior
The mountainous and wild heart of Sardinia, showing the island's rugged limestone terrain.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent shape of the lake with the Swiss Jura mountains providing a scenic backdrop.
Swiss Alps
A panoramic view of the Bernese Oberland and the iconic pointed peaks of the central Swiss mountain range.
The Ardennes
Densely forested hills and deep river valleys marking the border region between France, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
Brussels Atomium
On specific landing patterns, the right side may catch a glimpse of the iconic silver spheres of the Atomium.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing comfortable viewing conditions. It offers a broader view of the Swiss plateau and the Jura mountains. If landing toward the west at BRU, this side often offers a superior view of the Brussels city skyline and the canal area.
