TUN → AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic progression from Mediterranean islands to the high peaks of the Alps and the intricate river systems of Western Europe.
Corsican Highlands
Fly over the jagged granite peaks and dense forests of the 'Mountain in the Sea'.
The Swiss & French Alps
The flight's crown jewel, offering spectacular views of snow-capped massifs and glacial valleys.
Rhine River Valley
Watch the winding Rhine River and the border regions of France, Germany, and Luxembourg.
Randstad Urban Area
The sprawling metropolitan region of the Netherlands, featuring glass-walled greenhouses and canals.
Port of Rotterdam
On specific arrival patterns, you can see the massive industrial shipping infrastructure of Europe's largest port.
The right side is superior for geography enthusiasts. The Alpine crossing usually occurs mid-flight and is most impressive in winter or spring when snow cover is maximum. During the final approach to Schiphol, watch for the distinct geometric patterns of the Dutch polders and drainage canals.
Ancient Carthage
Aerial view of the UNESCO World Heritage site and the blue waters of the Gulf of Tunis immediately after takeoff.
Western Mediterranean
Expansive views of the Balearic Sea and the rugged western coastlines of Sardinia.
Provence Coastline
The French southern coast, featuring the limestone cliffs and turquoise 'calanques' near Marseille.
French Heartland
Neat patches of agricultural land and vineyards stretching across central and northern France.
Belgian Lowlands
Dense urban networks and the historic city of Brussels visible as the descent toward Amsterdam begins.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a better view of the Tunisian coastline and the French Provence region. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the archaeological ruins of Carthage.
