LIL → DJE
Which side of the plane to sit from Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama, featuring distant views of the snow-capped Alps, a better angle of the French Riviera coastline, and a more direct view of Sardinia and the Tunisian capital region during the descent.
The French Alps
Distant but clear views of the high peaks of the Alps and the Mont Blanc massif while cruising over eastern France.
Côte d'Azur
Panoramic views of the French Riviera and the city of Nice as the flight path transitions from land to the Mediterranean Sea.
Sardinia
Excellent views of the rugged eastern coastline and mountainous interior of the Italian island of Sardinia.
Tunis & Carthage
As you enter Tunisian airspace, you can often spot the sprawl of the capital and the historic site of ancient Carthage.
Gulf of Hammamet
A beautiful view of the sweeping turquoise bay and coastal resorts of eastern Tunisia before the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the major European mountain ranges in the distance and provides a classic view of the Tunisian coastline upon arrival. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Alps transition.
Loire Valley
A bird's eye view of the historic châteaux and winding rivers of central France shortly after departure from Lille.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic topography and dormant craters of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Camargue Wetlands
The distinctive salt pans and marshy landscapes where the Rhône river meets the Mediterranean near Montpellier.
Saharan Fringe
Views of the arid, golden landscapes and salt flats (Chotts) of central Tunisia during the descent into Djerba.
Djerba Island
A spectacular view of the 'Island of Dreams,' showcasing its white-washed architecture and palm groves during the final turn for landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Mediterranean and the North African desert. It offers a better perspective of the Saharan landscapes approaching Djerba. Look for the geometric patterns of the salt pans along the southern French coast about halfway through the land portion of the trip.
