Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a quintessential Italian experience, featuring volcanic lakes, the rolling hills of Tuscany, and a high probability of seeing the historic center of Pisa including the Leaning Tower on final approach.
Lake Bracciano
A large, perfectly circular volcanic crater lake visible shortly after departing Rome.
Tuscan Maremma
The scenic agricultural transition from the Lazio region into the heart of southern Tuscany.
Apennine Mountains
The distant, rugged peaks forming the backbone of the Italian peninsula to the east.
Pisa Historic Center
A spectacular view of the Square of Miracles and the Leaning Tower during the descent.
For the most vibrant colors in the Tuscan hills, book a morning flight when the sun is behind you. The flight duration is very short, often under 40 minutes, so keep your window shade up and camera ready from the moment you reach cruising altitude.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast, panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline throughout the short flight.
Civitavecchia Port
A clear view of the massive cruise ships and ferries docked at Rome's primary gateway.
Tuscan Archipelago
On clear days, the silhouettes of Giglio, Montecristo, and Elba islands are visible on the horizon.
Livorno Harbor
The complex network of canals and industrial docks of Tuscany's major port city.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the summer, the reflection of the sun on the water can be intense, so bring sunglasses for the first half of the flight.
