DUS → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Western Alps and is ideally positioned for the iconic approach over the Gulf of Tunis, featuring views of the turquoise coastline and the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Mont Blanc Massif
On clear days, the highest peak in the Alps is visible to the west during the crossing of the mountain range.
Corsica
Stunning views of the rugged, mountainous interior and jagged coastline of the French island of Corsica.
Sardinian Coast
The emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda are often visible as the flight path passes the northern tip of Sardinia.
Gulf of Tunis
Spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the ancient ruins of Carthage during the final approach.
Sidi Bou Said
The famous blue-and-white village perched on a cliff is frequently visible just before landing at TUN.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane turns over the Gulf of Tunis; the contrast between the white buildings and the azure water is breathtaking. Seasonal visibility is best in late spring when the air over the Mediterranean is clearest.
Rhine Valley
Bird's eye view of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heart of Germany shortly after takeoff.
Central Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the Jungfrau and Eiger peaks as the flight crosses into high-altitude mountain territory.
Ligurian Coastline
The Italian Riviera and the port city of Genoa often become visible as the plane leaves the European mainland.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters with occasional views of distant volcanic islands depending on the specific flight corridor.
Cape Bon Peninsula
The first glimpse of the African continent's tip as the aircraft prepares for its final descent into Tunis.
Sit on the left for better sunrise views if taking an early morning flight. The glare from the sun can be intense during midday flights, so keep the window shade partially down until reaching the Alps. Look out for the snow-capped Swiss peaks roughly 45 minutes after departure.
