Which side of the plane to sit from Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of Sicily's volcanic activity and the most jagged sections of the Austrian Alps before descending into the Brandenburg plains.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano on Sicily, often visible with a distinct plume of smoke.
Italian Mainland
Stunning views of the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian coastline as you cross towards Europe.
Austrian Alps
Direct, spectacular views of high-altitude glacial lakes and sharp limestone peaks.
Munich & Bavaria
The geometric patterns of Bavarian farmland and the sprawl of Munich are often visible.
Berlin Outskirts
The numerous lakes and forests of Brandenburg, including the Müggelsee, during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see Sicily and the dramatic Austrian peaks. For the best photography of the Alps, a morning flight provides the best illumination without the haze common in the late afternoon. Keep an eye out for Mount Etna approximately 30-40 minutes after takeoff.
Gulf of Gabes
Clear turquoise waters and the shallow coastal shelf of Tunisia immediately after departure.
Sardinia & Corsica
Distant views of the rugged eastern coastlines of these Mediterranean islands if the flight path is westerly.
Western Alps
Broad views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps on the horizon during the mid-flight crossing.
Thuringian Forest
Dense green canopies and rolling hills of central Germany as the plane begins its northern descent.
Choose this side for softer afternoon light when flying north, avoiding direct glare. It provides better views of the sunset if your flight is later in the day, highlighting the silhouettes of the Alpine peaks.
