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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Italian mainland, including views of Sicily's volcanic peaks, the dramatic Neapolitan coastline, and the sprawling suburbs of Rome before reaching Tuscany.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Etna

Shortly after takeoff from Comiso, look back for a majestic view of Europe's most active volcano dominating the Sicilian skyline.

🔥

Mount Vesuvius

A clear view of the iconic stratovolcano overlooking the Bay of Naples and the ruins of Pompeii.

🏛️

Roman Coastline

Pass over the mouth of the Tiber River with views of Ostia Antica and the distant cityscape of the Eternal City.

⚓

Monte Argentario

The unique rocky promontory connected to the Tuscan mainland by three narrow strips of land surrounding Orbetello lagoon.

🗼

Pisa & The Leaning Tower

On the final descent, catch a glimpse of the Piazza dei Miracoli and its famous leaning bell tower just before touchdown.

Sit on the right for the most diverse geographic landmarks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Italian peninsula in vibrant detail. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the Tuscan coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Aeolian Islands

Stunning aerial views of the volcanic archipelago, including the active cone of Stromboli and the sulfurous vents of Vulcano.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Vast expanses of deep blue Mediterranean waters often dotted with ferries and yachts cruising between the islands.

🏝️

Elba Island

The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, known for its rugged coastline and Napoleon's historic exile.

Choose a window seat mid-cabin or forward of the wing to capture unobstructed views of the volcanic islands. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography over the sea as the sun begins to set in the west.
