Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (Enfidha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, particularly when crossing the Mediterranean. It typically provides the best views of the Alps (on European routes) or the dramatic Turkish coastline and Greek archipelagos (on detour routes), followed by a stunning approach over the Tunisian Cape Bon.
Gulf of Finland
Sweeping views of the Baltic coastline and the Estonian islands shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
The Alpine Arc
On standard European routings, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps provide a breathtaking mid-flight centerpiece.
Tyrrhenian Islands
Clear views of Corsica, Sardinia, or the smaller Egadi Islands depending on the specific air corridor used.
Cape Bon Peninsula
The dramatic northern tip of Tunisia where the land meets the Mediterranean in a sharp, scenic point.
Hammamet Resorts
Aerial views of the iconic white-washed architecture and luxury hotels lining the Hammamet coastline during descent.
Sit on the right for the best lighting conditions during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft. This side is particularly spectacular during the descent into NBE, as it usually faces the coastline. If the flight detours around Ukraine via Turkey, this side will offer magnificent views of the Aegean islands and the Taurus Mountains.
St. Petersburg Skyline
Excellent views of the Neva River delta and the Lakhta Center skyscraper immediately after departure from Pulkovo.
The Carpathians
Rolling green and rocky ridges of the Eastern European mountain range spanning across the horizon.
Adriatic Coastline
The sparkling blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and the rugged limestone cliffs of the Balkan and Italian peninsulas.
Gulf of Hammamet
A vast turquoise expanse visible as the plane banks for its final approach into Enfidha.
Tunisian Olive Groves
The unique geometric patterns of vast olive plantations characteristic of the Sahel region of Tunisia.
On morning flights, expect significant sun glare on this side, which can make photography difficult. However, it is the better side for seeing the city of Sousse and the Monastir coastline if the aircraft performs a southern circling pattern before landing. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise to avoid cabin overheating.
