Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the picturesque Tunisian coastline upon departure and an iconic panoramic approach to Marseille, including the Frioul Islands and the historic city center.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Sidi Bou Said

A stunning aerial perspective of the famous blue-and-white village perched on the cliffside.

🏝️

La Galite Islands

A group of rocky volcanic islands located off the northern coast of Tunisia.

🗺️

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow passage between Corsica and Sardinia, visible during clear atmospheric conditions.

⛪

Notre-Dame de la Garde

The iconic 'Bonne Mère' basilica guarding the city of Marseille during the final descent.

🏰

Château d'If

The historic fortress-prison made famous by the Count of Monte Cristo, visible in the Bay of Marseille.

The right side is essential for the approach into Marseille (MRS). As the plane descends over the sea to align with the runway, you will get an unobstructed view of the Old Port and the Frioul archipelago. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for the best photography angles of Sidi Bou Said.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏺

Tunis City Center

Clear views of the Lake of Tunis and the sprawling urban medina immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Bizerte Coastline

The northernmost tip of Africa featuring rugged cliffs and deep blue Mediterranean waters.

🏔️

Western Corsica

Observation of the dramatic granite peaks and secluded coves along the Corsican western shore.

⚓

Calanques National Park

The stunning white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets as the plane enters French airspace.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the Mediterranean horizon glow. It is also better for avoiding direct sunlight during morning departures from Tunis heading north. Watch for the jagged peaks of the Corsican mountains rising through the clouds.
