Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence featuring the highest peaks of the Alps including Mont Blanc, the glittering French Riviera, and a more scenic approach into Djerba.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen canopies of Southwest Germany stretching toward the Swiss border.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe often stands out prominently on this flight path.

💎

French Riviera

The stunning transition from the Alps to the azure Mediterranean coast near Nice and Cannes.

🏝️

Corsica

The dramatic, jagged mountains of 'L'île de Beauté' rising sharply out of the sea.

🏖️

Djerba Coastline

Views of the island's white-washed architecture and the Roman Causeway connecting it to the mainland.

Sit on the right for the iconic view of Mont Blanc approximately 45-55 minutes after departure. This side also provides the best lighting during afternoon flights, avoiding the direct glare of the sun. On the final approach into Djerba Zarzis, the right side usually offers a better view of the island's unique layout, including its famous salt pans and traditional Menzels.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🇩🇪

Rhine Valley

Bird's eye view of the winding Rhine river and the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Dense clusters of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys through central Switzerland.

🇮🇹

Po Valley

The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy, often revealing the grid-like patterns of ancient agriculture.

🌊

Gulf of Gabes

Deep turquoise waters and the shallow coastal shelf as the aircraft begins its final descent.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Alpine ridges. As you approach Tunisia, keep an eye out for the distinct change from the deep Mediterranean blue to the light turquoise of the Gulf of Gabes. Avoid sitting directly over the wing (rows 12-20 on typical A320/B737) to maintain an unobstructed view of the coastline during the descent into Djerba.
