FRA → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the High Alps and the Italian peninsula, followed by a scenic arrival over the historic Gulf of Tunis.
The Central Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian Alpine peaks, featuring snow-capped summits and deep valleys.
Po Valley
The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy, dotted with historic urban centers and winding rivers.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone spine of Italy, stretching down the peninsula toward the Mediterranean.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep azure waters contrasting with the Italian coastline as the plane heads south toward Africa.
Gulf of Tunis
A stunning approach over the turquoise waters with views of the ancient ruins of Carthage on the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alpine glaciers. During the descent into Tunis, keep your camera ready for the bright blue waters of the gulf and the white-washed coastal suburbs. Check the weather for the Alps; clear winter days offer the most dramatic high-contrast views of the peaks.
The Black Forest
Rolling green hills and dense woodlands of southwestern Germany shortly after takeoff from Frankfurt.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' that marks the scenic border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Western Alps
Views of the jagged peaks toward the French border, including the distant silhouette of Mont Blanc.
Mediterranean Islands
Spot the rugged, mountainous coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia as you traverse the sea.
Tunisian Coastline
The dramatic entry into North African airspace, often featuring views of the vibrant Sidi Bou Said cliffs.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. It offers better views of the major islands like Sardinia during the mid-flight cruise. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may get a glimpse of the French Riviera coastline before crossing the open sea.
