TUN → PMO
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Aegadian Islands and the dramatic limestone cliffs of San Vito Lo Capo during the approach into Palermo.
Ancient Carthage
View the archaeological site of Carthage and the Presidential Palace shortly after takeoff from Tunis.
Aegadian Islands
Identify the rugged silhouettes of Marettimo, Favignana, and Levanzo rising from the turquoise sea.
San Vito Lo Capo
Admire the white sands and the iconic Monte Monaco peak as the plane begins its final descent.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Enjoy a sweeping view of the deep blue waters and the jagged northern Sicilian coast before touchdown.
For the most vivid colors of the Mediterranean, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Aegadian Islands isn't obstructed during the banking turns. Look out for the historic ruins of Carthage almost immediately after takeoff if the plane departs towards the north.
Cape Bon Peninsula
See the 'thumb' of Tunisia stretching into the sea, featuring the town of Kelibia and its fortress.
Pantelleria Island
Midway through the flight, look for this volcanic island, known for its dark rocks and mirror-like lake.
Marsala Coastline
Spot the salt pans and sprawling vineyards of the westernmost tip of Sicily.
Gulf of Castellammare
View the charming seaside towns nestled along the wide bay as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is excellent for spotting Pantelleria, which often appears as a dark gem in the middle of the channel. In the late afternoon, the golden hour light reflects beautifully off the Sicilian salt pans. Keep a lookout for the Kelibia fortress on the Tunisian coast shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
