TUN → LYS
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (Lyon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the historic ruins of Carthage upon departure and a magnificent panorama of the French Alps and the Rhône Valley during the approach into Lyon.
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.
Camargue Wetlands
The distinctive salt pans and pink-hued lagoons of the Rhône delta as you enter French airspace.
Massif Central
Distant views of the ancient volcanic plateaus of south-central France to the west of the flight path.
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.
