TUN → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Corsican coastline, the highest peaks of the Western Alps including Mont Blanc, and a more direct view of the Rhine River's path during the final approach into Germany.
Mediterranean Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea shortly after departing the Tunisian coast.
Corsican Ridges
A stunning look at the mountainous spine and western cliffs of the island of Corsica.
French Riviera
The glitzy coastline around Nice and Antibes as the plane crosses the Mediterranean into mainland Europe.
Western Alps
Unparalleled views of the highest European peaks, often including the massive dome of Mont Blanc.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau fountain in Geneva are frequently visible.
The Rhine Valley
Follow the winding path of the Rhine through the castle-dotted hills of western Germany.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps. Ask for a seat well forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During winter, the snow-covered Swiss landscape is particularly dramatic on this side.
Gulf of Tunis
Immediate views of the ancient ruins of Carthage and the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said.
Sardinian Coast
The eastern shores of Sardinia with hidden coves and the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Genoa and Liguria
The industrial port of Genoa and the colorful villages of the Italian Riviera.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks in the central Swiss Alps.
Frankfurt Skyline
In clear conditions, the skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub can be seen in the distance.
Cologne Cathedral
As the plane begins its final descent, the massive twin spires of the Kölner Dom are often visible.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western glare. Look out for the Italian coastline early in the flight. If the landing approach at DUS is from the north, you will get a great view of the Ruhr industrial area.
