FEZPSA

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean islands, including the Tuscan Archipelago, and the final scenic approach over the Italian coastline near Pisa.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏜️

Eastern Morocco

Expansive views of the Moroccan interior and the transition toward the Mediterranean coast.

🏝️

Sardinia and Corsica

Passage near the eastern coastlines of these major islands with clear views of their mountainous interiors.

🛥️

Elba Island

The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile, visible shortly before descent.

🏖️

Tuscan Coastline

The beautiful stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast featuring sandy beaches and coastal pine forests.

🗼

City of Pisa

On final approach, you can often spot the iconic Leaning Tower and the Piazza dei Miracoli.

The right side is ideal for catching the highlights of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Look out for Elba and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago about 20 minutes before landing. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Leaning Tower during the final banking turns into PSA.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Rif Mountains

The rugged green and brown ridges of northern Morocco shortly after departure from Fes.

🌊

Alboran Sea

The sparkling transition from the Moroccan coastline into the deep blue Mediterranean.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

Distant views of Mallorca or Menorca may be visible to the north depending on the specific air corridor.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The northernmost 'finger' of Corsica jutting into the Ligurian Sea as you head toward Italy.

🏔️

Apuan Alps

Dramatic white-topped peaks in the distance as the plane aligns for its landing in Tuscany.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the northern tip of Corsica and the distant peaks of the Italian mainland. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting as the sun is positioned to the south and west.
