Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct view of the highest peaks in Europe, specifically Mont Blanc, and a spectacular look at the full crescent of Lake Geneva.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Djerba Coastline

Aerial view of the 'Island of Dreams' with its white-domed buildings and turquoise lagoons upon departure.

๐ŸŒŠ

West Corsica

The dramatic granite cliffs of the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Calanques de Piana visible during the Mediterranean crossing.

๐Ÿ’Ž

French Riviera

Excellent perspectives of the Cรดte d'Azur coastline, including the glitzy cities of Nice and Cannes as you reach mainland Europe.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps stands out prominently on the left as the flight transitions from France into Swiss airspace.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Geneva

A stunning panoramic view of the entire crescent-shaped lake and the city of Lausanne.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Jura Ridges

Rolling limestone ridges and dense forests that define the border region between France and Switzerland before landing.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Alps. Keep your camera ready approximately 20-30 minutes after crossing the French coastline for the best shots of the snow-capped Mont Blanc massif. During winter, the snow cover on the Jura mountains is particularly photogenic.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Houmt Souk

A bird's-eye view of Djerba's main town and its vibrant markets during the initial climb.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Tunisian Coastline

Views of the salt pans and arid landscapes near the city of Sfax as the plane heads north.

๐Ÿž๏ธ

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow passage between Sardinia and Corsica, featuring white limestone cliffs and crystal clear water.

๐Ÿ—ป

The Matterhorn

Look for the iconic pyramid-shaped peak in the distance among the Pennine Alps to the east.

โ›ต

Lake Neuchรขtel

Beautiful views of the largest lake entirely within Switzerland as the flight prepares for the final descent.

๐ŸŒฒ

The Black Forest

The dark, densely forested hills of Germany visible to the northeast during the final approach into EuroAirport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as you'll see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Watch for the sharp silhouette of the Matterhorn about 45 minutes before landing. If the flight path approaches from the north, you might get a unique view of the Rhine river's 'elbow' in Basel.
