TUN → ZRH
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis) to Zürich Airport (Zurich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the high Alpine peaks, including the Mont Blanc massif, and provides better lighting conditions (away from the sun) for photography during northbound daytime flights.
Gulf of Tunis & Carthage
Immediately after takeoff, see the historic ruins of Carthage and the deep blue waters of the Tunisian coast.
Western Corsica
Breathtaking views of the rugged, mountainous interior and the dramatic cliffside coastlines of the French island.
Mont Blanc & Western Alps
As you enter Swiss airspace, look out for the highest peak in Europe and the sprawling glaciers of the Pennine Alps.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the plane begins its descent towards Zurich.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best panoramic views. On morning flights, the sun is on the opposite side, minimizing glare on your window and allowing for crisp photos of the Alpine glaciers. During winter, the snow coverage on the Swiss Jura mountains is particularly striking on this side.
Cape Bon Peninsula
A clear view of the northeastern tip of Tunisia reaching out into the Mediterranean Sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Look for the island of Elba and the distant coastline of mainland Italy as you cross the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Lake Maggiore & Lake Como
Stunning views of the deep blue Italian lakes nestled in the foothills of the Alps before crossing the border.
Lake Zurich Approach
On final approach, you will often fly directly over Lake Zurich, offering a perfect view of the city and the gold coast.
Choose the right side if you enjoy seeing the Italian lakes and prefer a view of the city of Zurich during landing (depending on the runway in use). Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which can make the cabin quite bright and cause reflections on the glass.
