Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the rugged Corsican mountain spine and the striking red volcanic rock formations of the French Estérel Massif shortly after takeoff.
Estérel Massif
Dramatic red porphyry rocks meeting the blue Mediterranean sea just west of Cannes.
Corsican Alps
The snow-capped peaks of central Corsica, including Monte Cinto, are visible for a significant portion of the flight.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica from Sardinia, featuring white limestone cliffs.
Sardinian Highlands
The wild, rocky interior of northern Sardinia and the Gallura region.
Tunisian North Coast
The rugged shoreline near Bizerte and the rolling hills of the northern Tunisian interior.
Sit here for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides the most dramatic geographic variety, from the red rocks of France to the high peaks of Corsica and the arid landscapes of Tunisia.
Monaco and Menton
If the flight departs towards the east, you get a clear view of the Principality and the Italian border.
Eastern Corsica
The flat eastern plains of Corsica and the city of Bastia are visible as you track south.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast turquoise waters and occasionally the small Italian islands of the Tuscan Archipelago in the distance.
Gulf of Hammamet
The sweeping curve of the Tunisian coastline and the white-sand beaches of the Cap Bon peninsula.
Sousse Medina
A view of the historic coastal city and its fortifications just before the final turn for landing.
Choose this side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the sea. It is also the best side to view the salt pans and the Ribat of Monastir during the final approach if the wind is blowing from the north.
