TUN โ FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Western Alps and the rugged western coastline of Corsica, often with favorable lighting conditions.
Mediterranean Crossing
Deep blue vistas as you leave the North African coast and head toward Europe.
Corsican Coastline
Views of the dramatic cliffs and turquoise bays of western Corsica.
The High Alps
Unrivaled perspectives of the snow-capped Western Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif.
Swiss Lakes
Spot the distinct shapes of Lake Neuchรขtel and the western edge of Lake Geneva.
The Black Forest
The dense, dark green ridges of Germany's Schwarzwald during the initial descent.
Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Seat yourself forward of the wing or far behind it to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain panoramas. During winter, the snow-covered Alps are particularly breathtaking.
Ancient Carthage
Aerial views of the historic ruins and the blue Gulf of Tunis shortly after takeoff.
Tuscan Archipelago
Islands like Elba and Capraia visible in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east.
Bernese Oberland
The massive peaks of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau in the central Swiss Alps.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Frankfurt Skyline
A potential view of 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers depending on the arrival flight path.
A morning flight is ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Rhine River as you approach Frankfurt; the pilot often follows its course during the arrival sequence.
