Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the Swiss Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by a stunning coastal progression along the Italian peninsula and the Tunisian Sahel region, concluding with the scenic approach into the Gulf of Gabes.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of the Glarus and Lepontine Alps as the plane climbs south from Zurich.

🏙️

Milan & Lombardy

The dense urban sprawl of northern Italy's fashion capital and the fertile Po Valley.

🏖️

Tuscan Archipelago

Views of the islands like Elba and the jagged coastline of mainland Tuscany.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue Mediterranean waters often dotted with ferry traffic and cargo ships.

🏝️

Tunisian Sahel

The olive-grove rich coastline near Sousse and Monastir as you enter African airspace.

🐪

Gulf of Gabes

Shallow turquoise waters and salt flats signaling the approach to Djerba island.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harshest direct sunlight while capturing the alpine peaks. On the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue Mediterranean and the white-washed architecture of Djerba's coastal towns. Look for the Kerkennah Islands off the Tunisian coast about 20 minutes before landing.

🏜️

Northern Tunisia
