Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the highest Central Alpine peaks and provides the iconic view of the Leaning Tower and Pisa's historic center during the northern approach.
Black Forest
Observe the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region shortly after departure from Hahn.
Central Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-covered peaks around the Gotthard Massif and the Bernese Oberland.
Milan & Lombardy
Glimpse the sprawling metropolitan area of Milan and the industrial heart of the Po Valley.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy featuring dramatic ridges and deep valleys as you move toward the coast.
Pisa City Center
On final approach, look down for a perfect view of the Piazza dei Miracoli and the Leaning Tower.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to ensure the sun is behind you, providing optimal lighting for Alpine photography. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 30 to 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. As the plane descends into Pisa, the left side usually offers the classic aerial view of the historic city walls.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded granite peaks of the Vosges range visible across the Rhine valley border.
Western Alps Peaks
Distant views of the Mont Blanc massif and the jagged peaks of the French-Swiss border.
Italian Lakes
Views of the western shores of Lake Maggiore or Lake Como depending on the specific flight corridor.
Ligurian Sea
The sparkling blue Mediterranean coastline appearing as the plane crosses the Apennine range.
Coastal Villages
Views of the colorful settlements along the Versilia coast just before entering the final landing pattern.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. It also offers a better perspective of the coastline if the flight path follows the sea before turning into the airport. Look for the white marble quarries of Carrara in the mountains just north of Pisa during the descent.
