TUNBLQ

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Tunisian coastline upon departure and the rolling hills of Tuscany and historic Italian cities during the descent over the Italian peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Carthage Ruins

Glimpse the ancient archaeological site and the presidential palace in Carthage immediately after leaving TUN.

🍷

Tuscan Countryside

Vibrant green landscapes and the iconic rolling hills of the Chianti region and Orcia Valley.

⛪

Sanctuary of San Luca

The landmark basilica sitting atop Colle della Guardia is often visible on the final approach path.

🏙️

Bologna Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'Red City' with its medieval towers and terracotta rooftops just before landing.

⚓

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue waters and small Italian islets like Giglio and Montecristo.

The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Bologna. For morning flights, be prepared for some direct sunlight, but the rewards are views of the historic center and the iconic San Luca portico winding up the hill.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters and the Cape Bon peninsula shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Sardinian Coastline

Distant views of the rugged eastern cliffs of Sardinia as the flight heads north across the sea.

🏔️

Apennine Mountains

Aerial perspective of the jagged peaks and deep valleys as the aircraft crosses into Northern Italy.

🚜

Po Valley

The fertile, geometric agricultural patterns of the Emilia-Romagna region during final approach.

🚢

Livorno Port

Views of the busy industrial and ferry port on the Tuscan coast if the flight path hugs the western edge.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, glare-free views of the Italian coast.
