Which side of the plane to sit from Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of Sicily, including the active Mount Etna, the Italian coastline, and a more direct view of the dramatic Dolomites during the descent into Germany.
Mount Etna
Often the star of the route; look for the plume of smoke from Europe's most active volcano as you pass Sicily.
Italian Coastline
Excellent views of the rugged 'toe' and 'shin' of the Italian boot, including the Calabrian cliffs.
Venice and the Adriatic
If the route tracks slightly east, you can spot the unique shape of the Venetian Lagoon and its many islands.
The Dolomites
A breathtaking passage over the jagged, limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region of the Alps.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' is often visible on the final approach into Munich, surrounded by lush green forests.
The right side is essential for morning flights to see the sunrise over the sea. Watch specifically for Mount Etna approximately 35-45 minutes after takeoff from Djerba. During winter, the snow coverage on the Dolomites is most impressive from this side of the aircraft.
Djerba Shoreline
Aerial view of the island's white-sand beaches and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Gabes upon departure.
Tyrrhenian Sea
A vast blue expanse often punctuated by the distant silhouettes of Sardinia and Corsica depending on the flight path.
Rome and the Tiber
On clear days, the sprawl of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River are visible as you head north.
Western Alps
Distant views of the Swiss alpine giants and snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is also the better side for viewing the western sunset over the Mediterranean if flying late in the day. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to see the Bavarian countryside.
