Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with the snow-capped Swiss Alps and transitioning to the stunning turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the final approach over the Gulf of Gabes.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Bernese Alps

Spectacular views of Swiss glaciers and iconic peaks like the Eiger and Jungfrau.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear views of Elba and smaller Mediterranean islands scattered near the Italian coast.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Vibrant shades of blue as the flight crosses from mainland Europe toward Africa.

🐪

Gulf of Gabes

The transition from deep blue water to the arid, golden landscapes of the Tunisian coast.

🌉

El Kantara Causeway

The ancient Roman road connecting Djerba island to the mainland during final approach.

The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the Mediterranean. During the landing phase at DJE, look down to see the unique architecture of Djerba's 'Menzels' (traditional fortified houses) dotted across the island's landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

The Dolomites

Dramatic limestone peaks and jagged ridges of the eastern Italian Alps.

🏛️

Rome & Vatican City

Aerial view of the Tiber River winding through the ancient capital.

🌋

Mount Etna

Often visible in the distance as you pass Sicily, showing Europe's highest active volcano.

🏖️

Cap Bon Peninsula

The first sight of Tunisia, featuring white sandy beaches and the Gulf of Hammamet.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing better lighting for photography of the Italian peninsula. Keep a sharp eye out for the smoking peak of Etna roughly 40-50 minutes before descent.
