Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic landmarks, including the rugged western coast of Corsica, the peak of Mont Blanc, and the distinctive crescent shape of Lake Geneva.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of Hammamet

Aerial view of the turquoise Tunisian coastline and the resort towns of Hammamet and Nabeul shortly after takeoff.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Western Corsica

Dramatic granite cliffs and secluded coves of the Scandola Nature Reserve as you cross the Mediterranean.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps is often visible to the west as the plane crosses the Franco-Italian border.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Geneva

The massive, moon-shaped lake becomes visible as you transition from the Alps into the Jura Mountains.

๐ŸŒฒ

Vosges Mountains

Dense green forests and rolling ridges of eastern France before descending toward the Low Countries.

For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Alpine peaks framed by the aircraft. The Mont Blanc view usually occurs about 60-70 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Alps without direct sun glare on this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Cap Bon Peninsula

A clear view of the northeastern tip of Tunisia reaching out toward the Mediterranean Sea.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Sardinian Coast

The rugged northeastern shores of Sardinia and the luxury resorts of Costa Smeralda.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss Alps

Panoramic views of the high Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau.

Moselle Valley

The winding river valleys and steep-terraced vineyards near the border of France and Luxembourg.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Brussels Approach

Views of the Belgian capital and the iconic Atomium structure depending on the landing runway configuration.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia early in the flight. On the final approach into BRU, keep an eye out for the distinctive silver spheres of the Atomium if landing from the east.
