Right Side Highlights

🏰

Cape Bon Peninsula

The strategic northern finger of Tunisia pointing toward Sicily.

🏔️

Dramatic views of the 'Mountain in the Sea' with peaks reaching over 2,700 meters.

🏖️

Cote d'Azur

The sparkling blue waters and glamorous shoreline of the French Riviera.

🎿

French Alps

Iconic views of the western Alps, including the Vercors and Chartreuse massifs.

🏙️

Rhône Valley

The winding Rhône river cutting through vineyards and historic towns toward Lyon.

The right side is the clear winner for Alpine scenery. On clear days, you may even spot Mont Blanc in the distance. For evening flights, this side provides a stunning view of the sunset reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea and the snow-capped mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Djerba Island

Aerial view of the island's unique architecture and turquoise lagoons immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Sardinian Coastline

The western cliffs and wild landscapes of Sardinia as the flight crosses the Mediterranean.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The vast wetlands and salt marshes of the Rhône delta near the French coast.

⚓

Marseille Basin

⛰️

Massif Central

Sit on the left for the best view of Djerba's coastline during departure. This side is also better for avoiding direct sunlight during midday flights heading north. Look for the distinct white salt pans near the Tunisian coast shortly after rotation.
