TUN → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Mediterranean islands, the dramatic transition from sea to land over the Italian coast, and a more expansive view of the higher, glaciated peaks of the Central Alps as you approach Austria.
Mediterranean Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters while crossing from the North African coast toward Europe.
Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of Elba and Montecristo islands as the flight tracks north along the Italian coastline.
Central Alps
A breathtaking panorama of the snow-capped High Alps, including some of Europe's tallest glaciated peaks.
Salzkammergut Region
Glimpses of the stunning Austrian Lake District and its dramatic mountain backdrops.
Linz Area
Views of the industrial and cultural hub of Upper Austria along the Danube River.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind or above the plane, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Alps. Look out for the distinct transition from the Mediterranean blue to the rugged white of the Alpine ridges approximately 70-80 minutes into the flight.
Cap Bon Peninsula
The scenic northern tip of Tunisia as the aircraft departs and begins its sea crossing.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of the Italian peninsula visible as the aircraft traverses toward the northeast.
Adriatic Horizon
Distant views of the northern Adriatic Sea and the Venetian lagoon under clear conditions.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps, known for their unique vertical walls.
Vienna Woods
The lush green biosphere reserve surrounding Vienna during the final descent into VIE airport.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures. During the approach into Vienna, if the wind is from the west, the right side often offers a better view of the city center and the Danube Tower. Keep an eye out for the jagged peaks of the Dolomites about 20 minutes before the descent begins.
