ORY โ TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of Corsica and the scenic approach into the Gulf of Tunis via the Cape Bon peninsula.
Fontainebleau Forest
Immediately after takeoff, view the expansive hunting grounds and dense greenery of this historic royal forest.
French Alps
Enjoy distant but clear views of the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps and Mont Blanc to the east.
Corsica
A breathtaking flyover of the 'Island of Beauty' featuring its high granite ridges and jagged coastline.
Mediterranean Blue
Deep azure waters dominate the view as the flight crosses from Europe toward the North African coast.
Cape Bon
The northeastern tip of Tunisia offers a stunning introduction to the country with its white-sand beaches and citrus groves.
For the best visibility of the Alps and Corsica, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side is also excellent for seeing the Gulf of Tunis during the standard descent into TUN. Check the weather forecast for the Mediterranean; clear days make the transition from the French coast to the islands spectacular.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic landscape of central France, including the Chaรฎne des Puys.
Rhรดne Delta
See where the Rhรดne river meets the Mediterranean near the Camargue region and its famous salt pans.
Sardinia
The rugged western coast of Sardinia is often visible, showcasing dramatic cliffs and turquoise coves.
Gulf of Tunis
As the plane banks for arrival, enjoy views of the bustling maritime traffic in the gulf.
Tunis Cityscape
A great view of the urban sprawl, the Lake of Tunis, and the historic ruins of Carthage near the airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. On the final approach into Tunis, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive white and blue architecture of Sidi Bou Said and the sprawling ruins of ancient Carthage located just east of the airport runway.
