Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Mediterranean islands and a more scenic approach into the French coast, including the city of Marseille and the surrounding mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Tunisian Coastline

Panoramas of the eastern Tunisian coast including the Gulf of Hammamet as you climb.

⛰️

Corsica

Stunning views of the jagged peaks and dense forests of the 'Mountain in the Sea' to the east.

🛥️

Côte d'Azur

The glittering French Riviera coastline appearing as the plane begins its descent into Provence.

🏙️

Marseille Cityscape

Direct views of the Vieux Port, the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, and the Frioul archipelago.

🏔️

The Southern Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps are visible in the distance to the north.

The right side is the prime choice for seeing the Mediterranean's most iconic islands. As the plane circles for landing at MRS, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of downtown Marseille and the Château d'If. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the French coastline.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏝️

Djerba Island

Aerial view of the island's unique flat landscape and white-domed architecture immediately after takeoff.

🌊

The Mediterranean Sea

Expansive views of the deep turquoise waters between North Africa and Europe.

⛰️

Western Sardinia

Views of the rugged cliffs and secluded coves along the western coast of the Italian island.

🏰

Calanques National Park

The dramatic white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the French coast during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the Galite Islands off the Tunisian coast. During the landing phase at MRS, you will likely see the Étang de Berre, a massive brackish lagoon.
