Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side features the most dramatic views of the high Alps, including Mont Blanc, and typically offers the best perspective of the Leaning Tower during descent.
Greater London
Views of the urban sprawl and landmarks of the UK capital.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible on the right.
Ligurian Sea
The sparkling blue waters of the coast near the border of France and Italy.
Leaning Tower
If landing on Runway 04, the iconic tower is visible on the right.
The right side is superior for Alpine scenery and the final approach into Pisa. Request a window seat away from the wing to maximize the view of the Leaning Tower before touchdown. During midday flights, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photos.
English Channel
The crossing from the British Isles to mainland Europe.
Swiss Alps
Sweeping views of the eastern Swiss peaks and alpine lakes.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy as you enter the Tuscany region.
Tuscan Hills
Rolling landscapes of vineyards and cypress trees during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Alps. This side is often better if the flight path takes a more easterly route over Switzerland, providing a wider perspective of the mountain range.
