Cap Bon Peninsula
The northernmost tip of Tunisia jutting out into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Corsican Peaks
Dramatic views of the high, often snow-dusted mountains of central Corsica.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, standing majestically above the surrounding Alpine range.
Lake Geneva
The vast, crescent-shaped Lac Léman with the city of Geneva and its Jet d'Eau visible on final approach.
This is the premier side for Alpine scenery. About 20-25 minutes before landing, look out for the Mont Blanc massif. For the most iconic arrival, the right side typically offers the best view of Geneva's city center and fountain when landing from the southwest (Runway 04). Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Alps.

Sousse Coastline
Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and the historical Medina of Sousse shortly after takeoff.
Western Sardinia
The rugged western cliffs and turquoise waters of the Italian island of Sardinia.
Marseille & Calanques
The dramatic limestone inlets and the bustling port of Marseille as the plane crosses into France.
Vercors Massif
The steep limestone plateaus of the French Prealps visible during the initial descent phase.
Sit on the left for better views of the Tunisian coast during the climb. During the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be necessary. It provides an excellent view of the Rhone valley and the Jura mountains on the final approach into Geneva if the flight path comes from the west.
