Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the snow-capped central Alps, the rolling landscapes of Tuscany, and a beautiful approach over the Tunisian coastline and the Cape Bon peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

The Black Forest

Just after takeoff from Strasbourg, gaze east toward the dense, dark evergreen canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald.

🏔️

Bernese & Valais Alps

Spectacular views of high-altitude Swiss peaks and glaciers as you cross toward Italy.

🇮🇹

Tuscan Countryside

The quintessential rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy are visible before heading out to sea.

🏛️

Rome Vicinity

On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of the Eternal City can be spotted to the east.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

The transition from the Italian mainland to the deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean.

🌅

Cape Bon Peninsula

The scenic 'thumb' of Tunisia appearing as you descend toward the African continent.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the Alps. This side is particularly rewarding during the final descent into Tunis as it offers views of the Gulf of Tunis and the ancient ruins of Carthage depending on the runway approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
⛰️

Vosges Mountains

View the rounded ridges of the Vosges range shortly after departing Strasbourg.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & Aosta

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance during the Alpine transit.

🏝️

Corsica & Elba

Look for the rugged outlines of these Mediterranean islands dotting the sea to the west.

⛴️

Italian West Coast

Views of the glittering Tyrrhenian coastline and major ports like Civitavecchia.

🦅

Gulf of Tunis

A wide-angle view of the bay and the Mediterranean horizon before landing.

🏘️

Sidi Bou Said

The iconic blue and white village perched on the cliffs may be visible during the final turn to land.

The right side is ideal for catching the late afternoon sun over the Mediterranean. Watch for the sharp contrast between the blue sea and the North African coastline. In winter, the low sun angle provides dramatic shadows across the Alpine valleys.
