NCE → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the iconic French Riviera coastline followed by the rugged eastern shores and mountainous spines of both Corsica and Sardinia.
French Riviera Coastline
Panoramic views of Nice, the Baie des Anges, and potentially Monaco shortly after takeoff.
Corsican Mountains
Detailed views of the granite peaks and dense forests of the regional park of Corsica.
Costa Smeralda
The turquoise waters and rocky inlets of northeast Sardinia's world-famous coastline.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep azure waters contrasting with the white wake of ferries crossing between Italy and the islands.
Carthage & Sidi Bou Said
Aerial perspective of the ancient Roman ruins and the blue-and-white village on the Gulf of Tunis.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is consistently better for viewing the distinct topography of the Mediterranean islands. During the approach into Tunis, watch for the ancient Punic Ports and the sprawling ruins of Carthage as the plane banks toward the runway.
Massif de l'Esterel
The distinctive red volcanic rock formations west of Cannes visible during initial climb.
Open Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean horizon, perfect for capturing sunset colors.
Strait of Bonifacio
A glimpse of the narrow channel separating Corsica from Sardinia as you fly south.
Tunis City Center
Views of the modern city and the Avenue Habib Bourguiba during the final descent.
Lake of Tunis
The massive lagoon that separates the city of Tunis from the Mediterranean Sea.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the sea. While it offers less landmass viewing during the cruise, it provides an excellent perspective of the red cliffs of the French coast during the departure phase. Keep an eye out for maritime traffic in the busy shipping lanes below.
