Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the initial departure over the Gulf of Hammamet and a more dramatic perspective of the Central Alps and Lake Constance as you transition into German airspace.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ–οΈ

Gulf of Hammamet

Immediate views of the turquoise Tunisian waters and white sandy beaches during the initial climb.

🚀

Tuscan Archipelago

Spotting the islands of Elba and Montecristo scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

πŸ”οΈ

Swiss Alps Massif

A breathtaking crossing of the central Swiss Alps, featuring jagged peaks and glacial valleys.

πŸ’§

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🌲

The Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests and rolling green hills of the Schwarzwald region in Southern Germany.

For morning flights, the right side receives direct sunlight, which is great for seeing the landscape but can cause glare; keep the window shade slightly down if needed. Watch for the sharp transition from the blue Mediterranean to the white Alpine peaks, which usually occurs about mid-flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Bizerte Peninsula

The northernmost tip of Africa and the rugged Tunisian coastline as you head out over the Mediterranean.

🏝️

Western Corsica

Dramatic granite cliffs and deep blue bays of the French island's western shore.

πŸ”οΈ

The High Alps

Distant but clear views of Western Alpine giants, potentially including the Mont Blanc massif.

πŸ‡

Alsace Region

The patchwork of vineyards and the Vosges Mountains along the French-German border.

🚒

Middle Rhine Valley

The winding Rhine river as it cuts through the HunsrΓΌck and Taunus mountains toward Cologne.

Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the sunset on late afternoon flights. Use a polarising filter for your camera to cut through the haze over the Mediterranean Sea.
