Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Djerba Zarzis International Airport (Djerba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the core Alpine peaks and a potentially dramatic view of the smoking crater of Mount Etna as you approach the African coast.
Berlin Cityscape
Immediate views of the Spree river and the Berlin urban sprawl shortly after takeoff from the south of the city.
High Alps
Breathtaking views of the Austrian and Italian Alps, including the Hohe Tauern and the jagged Dolomites.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and the northern Adriatic coastline are visible to the east.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano can be seen towering over Sicily during the Mediterranean crossing.
El Kantara Causeway
The ancient Roman bridge connecting Djerba to the Tunisian mainland is visible during the final descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 90 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views, and look south for Etna's plume about 25 minutes before landing.
Bavarian Alps
Views of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, and the transition into the Tyrolean mountains.
Lake Garda
The northern tip and the long, fjord-like expanse of Italy's largest lake are often visible.
Rome and the Tiber
Depending on the specific airway, the Italian capital and the Tyrrhenian coastline appear to the west.
Tyrrhenian Islands
Aerial views of the volcanic Lipari Islands or the rugged coastline of northern Sicily.
Gulf of Gabès
The vibrant transition from deep blue to turquoise water as the plane approaches the island of Djerba.
This side is exceptional for late afternoon flights, offering a spectacular Mediterranean sunset over the water. It also provides the best views of the Italian west coast and the colorful shallow reefs surrounding Djerba during the landing pattern.
