Right Side Highlights

🏛️

Carthage & Sidi Bou Said

Aerial perspective of the ancient Punic ruins and the iconic blue-and-white village nestled on the cliffside.

🏔️

Corsican Highlands

Breathtaking views of the jagged granite peaks and lush forests of central Corsica.

🗻

French Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, dominate the eastern horizon during descent.

🍷

Rhône Valley Vineyards

A bird's-eye view of the winding Rhône river and the prestigious vineyards leading into the Lyon region.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers; keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for the best Alpine views. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes for photography.

🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Sweeping views of the Tunisian coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean waters shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Western Sardinia

The rugged cliffs and secluded beaches of the Alghero region as the flight path tracks north.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the light reflecting off the Mediterranean. It is also the best side for spotting the unique geography of the Camargue marshes as the plane begins its descent over southern France.
