Which side of the plane to sit from East Midlands Airport (East Midlands) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the highest Alpine peaks including Mont Blanc and a spectacular descent along the rugged Ligurian coastline and the Cinque Terre.
English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the silhouette of Paris and its landmarks may be visible to the west.
Mont Blanc Massif
A breathtaking view of Europe's highest peak as the flight crosses the French-Italian border.
Port of Genoa
A stunning view of Italy's largest seaport and the sprawling coastal city.
Cinque Terre
The famous five colorful villages clinging to the cliffs of the Italian Riviera.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery; look out approximately 60 to 70 minutes after takeoff. During the descent, the aircraft often tracks along the coast, providing a front-row seat to the Italian Riviera. Evening flights offer spectacular sunsets over the Ligurian Sea.
English Midlands
Views of the rolling hills of Leicestershire and the urban landscape of the East Midlands upon departure.
Grand Est Region
Aerial views of the agricultural patterns and historic battlefields of eastern France.
Swiss Alps
Distinguished views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks in the distance to the east.
Po Valley
The vast, flat fertile plains of Northern Italy leading towards the Apennines.
Pisa City Views
During the final approach, the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral are often visible if landing from the north.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. On the final descent into PSA, keep your eyes peeled for the white marble of the Piazza dei Miracoli which often appears just before touchdown if the wind dictates a northern approach.
