Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular blend of the southern French Alps, the dramatic Ligurian coastline, and a high probability of seeing the Leaning Tower during the final approach into Pisa.
Burgundy Region
The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards stretching across the heart of central France.
Southern French Alps
Stunning views of the rugged Ecrins National Park and the dramatic glaciers of the southern alpine chain.
Ligurian Coast
The vibrant turquoise waters of the Mediterranean meeting the jagged cliffs of the Italian Riviera.
Cinque Terre
Look closely for the five famous colorful villages perched along the dramatic coastline north of La Spezia.
Piazza dei Miracoli
The Leaning Tower and the Cathedral are frequently visible on the right side during the final descent into PSA.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery and city landmarks. During the final descent, keep your camera ready for the Ligurian coast. In the late afternoon, the sun is positioned behind the plane, providing the best photographic lighting for the Tuscan landscape.
Champagne Vineyards
Aerial views of the lush rolling hills and famous wine estates of the Grand Est region shortly after departure.
Lake Geneva
Expansive views of the deep blue crescent-shaped lake and the surrounding Swiss Alps to the east.
Mont Blanc
The massive snow-capped summit of Europe's highest peak is often visible dominating the horizon.
Northern Apennines
The wild, forested ridges and deep valleys forming the mountain spine of northern Italy.
City of Lucca
The perfectly preserved Renaissance walls and historic towers of Lucca are visible just northeast of Pisa.
Choose the left side for the best morning light on the Alps without direct glare. To ensure an unobstructed view of the high peaks during the border crossing into Italy, avoid sitting in rows 10-22 where the wing often blocks the downward perspective.
