Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the numerous islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and the glamorous Emerald Coast of northern Sardinia.
Costa Smeralda
The famous 'Emerald Coast' of Gallura featuring turquoise bays and luxury resorts as you leave Sardinia.
Tuscan Archipelago
Exceptional views of Elba, Capraia, and Pianosa islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea mid-flight.
Livorno Port
A clear view of the historic 'Leopoldo' dock and the busy maritime traffic of Tuscany's largest port.
San Rossore Park
The dense coastal forests of the Migliarino, San Rossore, and Massaciuccoli Regional Park during descent.
Piazza dei Miracoli
Depending on the landing pattern, look for a quick glimpse of the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral as you approach PSA.
This is the best side for island spotting. Morning flights provide the best light for the Tuscan coast, while evening flights may suffer from some glare. Try to get a window seat roughly five rows behind the wing for the best balance of stability and view.
Capo Caccia
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area visible immediately after takeoff from Alghero.
Asinara Island
A rugged national park island located off the northwestern tip of Sardinia, known for its white donkeys.
Corsican Mountains
Looking west across the sea to catch the high granite peaks of central Corsica, often snow-capped in winter.
Gorgona Island
The northernmost and smallest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, used as a penal colony.
Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Corsican coastline. Afternoon flights are best for this side as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Italian mainland and islands without glare.
