Which side of the plane to sit from Enfidha - Hammamet International Airport (Enfidha) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an unparalleled sequence of Mediterranean landmarks, including the smoking crater of Mount Etna and the stunning island clusters of the Adriatic Sea, followed by the winding Danube.
Hammamet Peninsula
Exceptional views of the Tunisian tourist resorts and sandy white beaches immediately after takeoff from Enfidha.
Mount Etna
One of the most active volcanoes in the world, its peak and occasional smoke plumes are visible as the flight crosses near Sicily.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The intricate mosaic of Croatian islands and turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea provides a stunning visual mid-flight.
The Danube Bend
The famous curve of the Danube river as it flows through Hungary and Slovakia, often reflecting the sunlight.
Russian Boreal Forests
The vast, dense evergreen forests surrounding the Moscow region provide a beautiful emerald canopy during the final descent.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here to witness the volcanic activity of Sicily and the Adriatic coast. For the best experience, try to book a seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of Mount Etna isn't blocked by the engine. In late afternoon, the sunset reflects beautifully off the Russian rivers and lakes as you approach Sheremetyevo.
Gulf of Tunis
Aerial view of the deep blue Mediterranean waters and the historical coastline of northern Tunisia shortly after departure.
Apennine Spine
The rugged mountain range running down the center of Italy, often visible through clear Mediterranean skies.
Central European Cities
Glances of urban centers like Bratislava or the outskirts of Warsaw depending on the specific airway used.
Moscow City District
On specific landing patterns into SVO, the cluster of skyscrapers known as 'Moscow City' appears on the left horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch for the dramatic transition from the dry North African landscape to the lush greenery of Europe. During winter, the snow-covered Tatra mountains in Slovakia are a major highlight on this side.
