TUN → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the historic Carthage ruins upon departure and the dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites as you cross the Alps.
Carthage Ruins
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the sprawling archaeological site of the ancient Punic and Roman city.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Elba and other small Italian islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea as you track toward the mainland.
Dolomites
Unparalleled views of the sheer rock faces and unique geological formations of the Italian Alps.
Bavarian Countryside
Rolling green meadows, red-roofed villages, and the occasional spire of a country church during the approach to MUC.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Mediterranean to the dramatic Alpine peaks.
Gulf of Tunis
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and the port of La Goulette immediately after takeoff.
Corsica
The rugged, mountainous west coast of the French island, featuring steep cliffs and secluded Mediterranean coves.
Bernese Alps
Distant views of the high Swiss peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs, visible on clear days to the north.
Lake Starnberg
The large, deep blue lake south of Munich, often visible during the final descent into the airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for capturing the silhouette of the Swiss Alps against the horizon as the flight progresses northward.
