The French Alps
Breathtaking views of the high peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, visible to the east shortly after departure from Lyon.
Corsica
The northern tip (Cap Corse) and the dramatic, mountainous skyline of the 'Island of Beauty' as you cross the Mediterranean.
Tunisian Coastline
Clear views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches near Hammamet and Monastir during the descent southward.
Djerba Island
The approach often reveals the island's traditional 'menzels' (houses) and vast palm groves against the blue sea.
Choose a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to avoid the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit panoramas of the Alps and the Mediterranean islands. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the mountain peaks.
