Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (Enfidha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the European continent, including potential glimpses of the Alps, the rugged coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia, and a panoramic approach over the Gulf of Hammamet.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and its surrounding suburbs may be visible as you transit through French airspace.
Distant Alpine Peaks
To the east, the snow-capped summits of the French and Swiss Alps often pierce the horizon during the mid-flight cruise.
Corsican Coastline
The route typically tracks near the western coast of Corsica, providing dramatic views of its mountainous terrain and turquoise bays.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast expanses of the deep blue Mediterranean, often dotted with ferries and cargo ships traveling between Europe and Africa.
Gulf of Hammamet
As the plane descends into Enfidha, you get a front-row seat to the white sandy beaches and resorts stretching toward Sousse.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the sun will be on the left initially but moves overhead, so glare is minimal. Watch for the dramatic transition from the lush green of Europe to the arid, golden tones of the North African coast approximately 20 minutes before landing.
South Downs
Immediate views of the rolling green hills of Southern England and the white cliffs near the English Channel.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged highlands of central France as you head south.
Golfe du Lion
The wide curve of the French Mediterranean coast, often featuring busy maritime traffic near Marseille.
Tunisian Interior
Aerial views of the salt lakes (Sebkhet) and the arid agricultural patterns of northeastern Tunisia during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to Tunisia, offering spectacular golden hour views over the Mediterranean. During the winter months, look for the snow dusting the higher elevations of the Massif Central in France. On arrival, keep an eye out for the distinct circular irrigation patterns common in Tunisian farming.
