Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Swiss and Italian Alps, as well as the initial views of the Irish coastline and the Lake Geneva region.
Dublin Bay
Aerial views of Howth Head and the Dublin coastline immediately after departure.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged peaks and glacial valleys of North Wales as you cross the Irish Sea.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva often visible on clear flight paths.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers in the Valais region.
Milan & Po Valley
The sprawling urban landscape of Northern Italy contrasted against the southern Alpine foothills.
Pisan Plain
Lush green fields of Tuscany as the plane descends toward the Arno River.
The left side is prime for Alpine photography. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. On morning flights, this side will be in the shade, reducing glare on the window. Watch closely about 90 minutes into the flight for the transition from France into the high Alps.
St George's Channel
Expansive views of the maritime corridor between Ireland and the United Kingdom.
French Countryside
The classic 'patchwork' pattern of rural French farms and historic chateaus.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often towers in the distance to the south-east.
Ligurian Coast
The stunning 'Italian Riviera' coastline appearing as the plane approaches Tuscany.
Port of Livorno
Large ships and the busy Mediterranean port visible during the final descent stages.
Island of Elba
In the distance, the mountainous island where Napoleon was exiled may be visible over the sea.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm Mediterranean light. During the final approach into Pisa (especially if landing on Runway 04R), this side offers the best views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the coastal fringes. Keep an eye out for the Massif Central region of France mid-flight.
