BUD → PSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an elite sequence of views including the Hungarian capital, the snow-capped Julian Alps, the unmistakable shape of Venice, and the heart of Tuscany.
Budapest Skyline
Unmatched views of the Danube River, Parliament building, and Buda Castle during the initial climb.
Julian Alps
Spectacular sightings of Mount Triglav and the jagged peaks of the Slovenian and Italian Alps.
Venice Lagoon
Depending on the specific air corridor, you can often see the historic center of Venice and its surrounding islands.
Florence & Tuscany
As the flight descends into Pisa, you often pass near Florence, spotting the terracotta roofs and the Duomo.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit in front of the wing for the best views of the Alps to avoid engine heat distortion. On the final descent into Pisa, keep your eyes peeled for the Leaning Tower, which is sometimes visible depending on the landing runway.
Lake Balaton
Aerial view of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, known for its distinct milky-turquoise color.
Istrian Peninsula
The rugged coastline of Croatia and the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea as you transition toward Italy.
Southern Apennines
Dramatic mountain ridges that form the spine of Italy, often covered in mist or snow in winter.
Choose the left side for beautiful morning light without direct sun glare. It offers a great perspective of Lake Balaton shortly after takeoff and the coastal transitions over the Adriatic.
