TUN → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is generally preferred for this route because it offers iconic views of the Tunis coastline upon departure and, most importantly, provides the best chance of seeing the London skyline including the Thames and Big Ben during the final approach into Heathrow.

Massif Central
The unique volcanic landscape of central France, featuring dormant craters and rolling green plateaus.
Parisian Periphery

English Channel
A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the Sussex coastline.
London Skyline

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare over the Mediterranean. On arrival at LHR, keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes before landing; if the wind is from the west (standard), the plane will often fly over central London, offering a spectacular tour of the city's landmarks.
