Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Swiss Alps and the stunning Ligurian coastline before a world-class view of Pisa's landmarks on final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore renewable energy clusters visible off the Dutch and German coasts.

🏔️

Swiss Alpine Giants

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks including potential sightings of the Eiger and Jungfrau.

🏖️

Italian Riviera

The dramatic cliffs and colorful villages of the Cinque Terre as the plane reaches the Mediterranean.

🛳️

Port of Livorno

Large cruise ships and commercial vessels dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea just before landing.

🗼

Leaning Tower of Pisa

If landing from the north, the Piazza dei Miracoli is often visible directly out the window just seconds before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'Pisa arrival' view. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Ligurian coast. Watch for the stark contrast between the blue sea and the white Carrara marble quarries in the mountains.

Left Side Highlights

🇳🇴

Rogaland Archipelago

View of the intricate coastline and islands south of Haugesund during initial climb.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

Aerial perspective of the flat, green landscapes of western Denmark and the Wadden Sea.

🏙️

Hamburg Metro

Glimpses of the massive port and the Elbe river winding through northern Germany.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Tyrol region during the transalpine crossing.

⛪

Florence Silhouette

On clear days, the distinct dome of Florence is visible to the east during the descent into Tuscany.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Alps. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look for the transition from the flat North German Plain to the sudden rise of the Alpine foothills.
