KRK → PSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the main Alpine chain and the dramatic descent over the Apennines, often offering a glimpse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa on final approach.
Bohemian Massif
Ancient forested mountains along the Czech-Austrian border.
Hohe Tauern Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers in central Austria.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is unmistakable with its long, narrow northern shape.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy, dotted with historic cities like Parma.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
During the final approach into PSA, look for the white marble of the Square of Miracles.
The right side is ideal for avoiding direct southern sun glare during midday flights. The highlight is the crossing of the high Alps; stay alert approximately 40-50 minutes after departure. For the best chance to see the Leaning Tower, look out as the plane makes its final turns toward the runway.
Tatra Mountains
Visible shortly after takeoff, these are the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains.
Vienna Woods
Rolling green landscapes of eastern Austria as the flight heads south.
The Dolomites
The sharp, pale peaks of the Italian Alps appearing on the eastern horizon.
Adriatic Coastline
Distant views of the Venetian Lagoon and the northern Adriatic Sea.
Florence
The iconic red-tiled Duomo and historic center of Florence are often visible to the south during descent.
Choose the left side for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Tatras. It offers a broader view of the Italian peninsula's width, though landmarks are often more distant than on the right. This side is better if the flight path tracks further east toward the Adriatic.
