ZRH → TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is highly recommended for its clear views of the Swiss Glarus Alps, the Italian shoreline, and the iconic archaeological site of Carthage upon descent.
Glarus Alps
Enjoy views of the rugged peaks of eastern Switzerland shortly after takeoff from Zurich.
Lake Como
The deep blue, Y-shaped lake in Northern Italy is often visible on the left side of the aircraft.
The Eternal City
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Rome and the Mediterranean coast are visible along the flight path.
Carthage Ruins
The UNESCO World Heritage site and the Presidential Palace are prominent on the left during the final approach.
Gulf of Tunis
Stunning views of the Mediterranean as the plane descends over the North African coastline.
For the best visibility of the Italian coast and the ruins of Carthage, choose the left side. Morning flights provide the best lighting for these features without sun glare. Carthage is specifically visible 2-4 minutes before touchdown.
Bernese Oberland
See the massive peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau to the west as you head south.
The Matterhorn
Look for the distinct pyramid shape of Switzerland's most famous mountain in the distance.
Islands of the Mediterranean
The mountainous terrain of Corsica and the northern shores of Sardinia are often visible to the west.
Tunis Cityscape
A broad view of the Tunisian capital and the surrounding hills during the descent.
Mediterranean Horizon
The right side offers spectacular sunsets over the open sea on evening flights.
The right side is perfect for catching a glimpse of the highest Swiss peaks and enjoying the sunset over the Mediterranean. It offers a great overview of the city of Tunis and the interior lake just before touchdown.
