Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular approach into Tuscany, including views of the Öresund Bridge early on and the famous Carrara marble quarries during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌉

Öresund Bridge

The massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Malmö and Copenhagen over the blue Baltic waters.

🏔️

Central Alps

Vast snow-capped peaks including views toward the Zugspitze and the Swiss border.

🌊

Ligurian Coastline

The sparkling Mediterranean sea meets the rugged Italian shore as you descend into Pisa.

⬜

Carrara Marble Quarries

Large white scars on the Apuan Alps that look like snow but are actually world-famous marble mines.

🗼

Pisa Landmarks

During specific landing patterns, the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral complex are visible near the runway.

The right side is superior for the approach into Pisa. Request a window seat for the descent to see the Carrara quarries, which are uniquely striking from the air. In winter, the low-angled afternoon sun beautifully highlights the textures of the Alpine valleys and the Tuscan coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🇸🇪

Stockholm Archipelago

Dense clusters of forested islands visible during the initial climb out of Arlanda.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Aerial views of the glaciated peaks in the High Tauern range and the Grossglockner.

🏙️

Florence (Inland Path)

Distant views of the iconic Brunelleschi's Dome if the flight path stays east of the city.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

Continuous mountain ridges that form the backbone of the Italian peninsula.

🏰

Tuscan Hill Towns

Clusters of terracotta roofs perched on the rolling green hills of northern Tuscany.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. The transition from the flat German plains to the jagged Austrian Alps is the visual highlight, usually occurring roughly 90 minutes into the flight. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain and the deep blue of the mountain lakes.
