Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic showcase of the Tuscan Archipelago, including iconic islands like Elba and Montecristo, and offers the highest probability of spotting the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the final approach.
Barbagia Mountains
The wild and rugged interior of central Sardinia, featuring limestone massifs and deep forested valleys.
Montecristo Island
The mysterious and strictly protected nature reserve, famous from literature, visible as a solitary peak rising from the sea.
Island of Elba
Extensive views of the largest island in the archipelago, including the iron-rich mountains and the port of Portoferraio.
Livorno Coastline
The historic port city and the 'Terrazza Mascagni' waterfront area visible as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Piazza dei Miracoli
A prime vantage point for the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, and the Baptistery just moments before touchdown.
Sit on the right and look out during the final 10 minutes of flight. Depending on the wind direction, the approach often passes just east of Pisa's city center, offering a world-class view of the Leaning Tower. Best in the afternoon for optimal lighting on the Tuscan coast.
Gulf of Cagliari
Aerial view of the 'Sella del Diavolo' headland and the expansive Poetto beach shortly after takeoff.
Corsican Skyline
Distant views of the rugged, high-altitude mountain peaks of central Corsica stretching along the western horizon.
Capraia and Gorgona
Small, volcanic islands of the Tuscan Archipelago appearing as dark emerald jewels in the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is also excellent for sunset flights as the sun dips behind the mountains of Corsica, creating a dramatic silhouette across the water.
