AMS β PSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for this route as it offers views of the highest Alpine peaks like Mont Blanc and provides the iconic aerial view of the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the final approach.
Lake Geneva
The crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva visible on the border of France and Switzerland.
Mont Blanc Massif
A breathtaking view of the highest peak in the Alps and its surrounding glaciers.
Ligurian Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the mountains and the sea along the Italian Riviera near Genoa.
Tuscan Archipelago
Glimpses of islands like Elba and Capraia in the distance over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
On the final approach into PSA, look down for a perfect view of the Square of Miracles and the tower.
This side is essential for the 'money shot' of Pisa's historic center. Ensure your window is clean for the descent, as the aircraft often turns over the sea to align with the runway, giving you a panoramic view of the Tuscan coast and the city landmarks.
Dutch Polders and Canals
Detailed views of the intricate Dutch water management systems and polders shortly after departure.
Ardennes Forest
The rolling green hills and dense forests of the Belgian Ardennes region.
Central Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks in the Bernese Oberland.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy, often visible before crossing the Apennines.
Northern Apennines
The rugged mountain ridge that separates the Po Valley from the Mediterranean coast of Tuscany.
Choose this side for the best lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you. It offers a deeper look into the central Swiss mountain ranges, which are particularly stunning in mid-winter when fully snow-capped.
