TUN โ ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean crossing, featuring spectacular views of the rugged coastlines of Sardinia and Corsica, followed by potential sightings of the French Alps and the Paris skyline during the descent.
Ancient Carthage
A stunning aerial view of the archaeological site of Carthage and the iconic blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said immediately after departure.
Sardinia & Corsica
Direct views of the dramatic mountain ranges and turquoise bays of these two major Mediterranean islands.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible on the eastern horizon while flying over Provence.
Parisian Landmarks
During the final approach into Orly, this side often provides glimpses of the Eiffel Tower and the urban density of central Paris.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Corsica's peaks. During the evening, this side catches the sunset's reflection on the Mediterranean. Landing at Orly from the south usually places the city center to your right.
Tunis Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital city, the Lake of Tunis, and the bustling port of La Goulette shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the open sea and the Balearic Sea transition as the flight heads north toward mainland Europe.
Massif Central
Visuals of the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged highlands of south-central France as you cross the mainland.
Loire Valley
Glances of the meandering Loire River and the verdant countryside known for its historic French chรขteaux.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. As you approach Paris, watch for the rhythmic patterns of French farmland. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the Mediterranean.
