TUNDUS

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
🏛️

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.
