LIS → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic scenic progression, featuring the iconic Lisbon city skyline upon departure, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada in Spain, and the rugged, breathtaking peaks of the Atlas Mountains along the North African coastline.
Lisbon Cityscape
Unparalleled views of the 25 de Abril Bridge, the Christ the King statue, and the historic Baixa district.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Fly past the highest peaks in mainland Spain, often covered in snow even during the warmer months.
Atlas Mountains Range
Stunning aerial vistas of the rugged ridges and deep valleys stretching across Algeria and northern Tunisia.
Algerian Emerald Coast
The dramatic meeting point of the Mediterranean Sea and the steep, green coastal cliffs of the Maghreb.
Lake of Tunis
Final approach views of the salt lake and the modern skyline of Tunis before touching down at Carthage Airport.
The right side is superior for landmarks. To maximize the experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Atlas Mountains and the North African coast. Keep an eye out early in the flight; if the wind direction is favorable, you may catch a glimpse of the Alboran Sea and the northern tip of Morocco.
Vasco da Gama Bridge
A stunning view of Europe's second-longest bridge spanning the Tagus River shortly after takeoff from LIS.
Alentejo Hinterlands
The rolling plains and cork oak forests of southern Portugal transition into the dry, golden landscapes of central Spain.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Vibrant turquoise waters meet the Spanish coast near Alicante as the flight crosses the Mediterranean.
Balearic Sea Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca may be visible to the north across the water.
Gulf of Tunis
A panoramic approach over the deep blue waters leading toward the ancient site of Carthage and the Tunis harbor.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready during departure for the intricate river patterns of the Tagus estuary. During the descent into Tunis, this side often provides the clearest view of the Mediterranean coastline and the ruins of Carthage.
