GVA โ TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, featuring the highest peaks of the Alps, the glamorous French Riviera, and a dramatic longitudinal view of Corsica's mountainous interior.
Lake Geneva
Immediate views of the crescent-shaped Lac Lรฉman and the Swiss coastline shortly after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is visible to the southeast, often piercing through the cloud layer.
French Riviera
Panoramic views of Nice, Monaco, and the glittering Cรดte d'Azur as the flight moves over the Mediterranean.
Corsica
A stunning perspective of the rugged, high-altitude granite peaks that form the spine of the 'Island of Beauty'.
Carthage & Sidi Bou Said
During the final approach into TUN, look for the ancient ruins of Carthage and the iconic blue-and-white architecture.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Alps. The descent into Tunis often curves over the Gulf, providing a perfect photo opportunity of the Mediterranean coastline and the historic site of Carthage. Watch for the Jet d'Eau fountain if the plane takeoffs towards the north before banking south.
Rhone Valley
Follows the lush vineyards and historic towns of south-eastern France as the flight heads south.
Marseille & Calanques
View the Old Port of Marseille and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.
Western Sardinia
Rugged coastlines and the turquoise waters of the Italian island's western shores.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea, perfect for spotting cargo ships and the setting sun on evening flights.
Northern Tunisia
Initial views of the African continent, including the lagoons near Bizerte and the rolling northern hills.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. It offers a broader view of the French coastline near Marseille, but can be quite bright during midday flights. Keep an eye out for the island of Menorca in the far distance during clear days over the open sea.
