DJE โ HAM
Which side of the plane to sit from Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba) to Hamburg Airport (Hamburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional perspective of the Tunisian coastline, the central Alpine massif including Lake Constance, and a more scenic approach into Hamburg over the Elbe river.
Gulf of Gabes
Stunning views of the shallow turquoise waters and the Kerkenna Islands off the Tunisian coast.
Tuscan Coast
Distant views of the Italian mainland and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
Central Alps
Breathtaking traverse over the heart of the European Alps with views of major massifs.
Lake Constance
The vast expanse of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Harz Mountains
The legendary Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany.
Elbe River & Port
The winding Elbe river and the massive cranes of the Port of Hamburg during the landing pattern.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic landmarks. Look for Lake Constance roughly 75-90 minutes before landing. During descent, this side often offers a better view of Hamburg's city center and the Alster lakes if the aircraft approaches from the north.
Djerba Coastline
Bird's-eye view of the island's white-domed architecture and circular 'Menzel' estates upon takeoff.
Western Mediterranean
Deep sapphire waters of the open sea, often passing the eastern shores of Corsica.
Swiss Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of the western Alps, including glimpses of high-altitude glaciers.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the busy logistics hubs of central Germany.
Lรผneburg Heath
The purple-hued heathlands and dense forests of Lower Saxony during the final descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for seeing the western fringes of the Alps. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the unique landscape of Djerba island.
