Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer breathtaking views of the Alps, the Right Side is slightly superior for its view of the Ligurian coastline and the iconic landmarks of Pisa during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Wadden Sea

Spot the unique tidal flats and barrier islands of the German coast shortly after departure.

🏞️

Lake Constance

A massive body of water forming the tri-point border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏔️

Central Alpine Peaks

Witness the highest glaciers and rocky ridges of the Swiss and Italian Alps from cruising altitude.

🏖️

Ligurian Sea

The coastline opens up near La Spezia, showing the transition from mountain to Mediterranean sea.

🗼

Field of Miracles

Often visible on the final approach, look for the white marble of the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. For the best chance to see the Leaning Tower, look out during the final 3 minutes of the flight when the plane aligns with the runway.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Hamburg Port

Look for the massive industrial crane systems and the Elbe river winding through northern Germany's largest city.

🏔️

Tyrolean Alps

Dense clusters of jagged, snow-capped peaks across the Austrian border offer a dramatic vertical landscape.

💧

Lake Garda

If the flight path is easterly, Italy's largest lake is visible with its distinct narrow northern neck.

📜

Tuscan Hills

The characteristic rolling landscape and cypress-lined roads of northern Tuscany appear during the descent.

On morning flights, the left side offers the best lighting for the Alps without direct sun glare. It provides a great perspective of the Po Valley's industrial heart before entering the Apennine Mountains.
