TUN โ CGN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of the Central Alps' highest peaks and a spectacular perspective of the Rhine Valley during the final descent into Cologne.
Italian Archipelago
Aerial views of Elba and smaller islands scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Swiss High Alps
Breathtaking perspectives of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mรถnch peaks covered in perennial snow.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River and the scenic Siebengebirge hills during the approach to Cologne.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep your camera ready about an hour into the flight for the most dramatic Alpine photography. During the descent, look for the Drachenfels castle ruins near Bonn.
Gulf of Tunis
Immediate views of the turquoise Mediterranean and the ancient ruins of Carthage near the coast.
Corsica
The rugged, mountainous interior and western cliffs of the French island rising from the sea.
Western Alps
Distant but impressive views of the Mont Blanc massif and the French-Swiss border ranges.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green evergreen forests stretching across southwestern Germany.
Sit on this side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. Watch for the sharp contrast between the Mediterranean blue and the white sands of the Tunisian coast shortly after takeoff.
