Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this south-bound route, offering a majestic perspective of the central Alpine peaks and an iconic view of Florence's historic center during the final approach into Tuscany.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌲

Harz Mountains

Aerial views of the Brocken and the dense, dark forests of central Germany's highest range.

🏔️

Central Alps

Dramatic vistas of the Austrian and Italian peaks, including high-altitude glaciers and deep valleys.

🏛️

Florence Cityscape

Clear views of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Arno River as the plane descends into the Arno valley.

🍇

Chianti Vineyards

The quintessential rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the Tuscan countryside before landing.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on morning flights. As you cross the Alps, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the snow-capped peaks and the green valleys. During the descent, the pilot often follows the Arno river, making the left side the prime spot to spot Florence's landmarks.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⚓

Hamburg & Elbe

Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of Germany's 'Gateway to the World' and the massive port infrastructure.

💧

Lake Garda

The elongated blue expanse of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep mountains at its northern end.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

The rugged, less-traveled mountain ridges that separate the Po Valley from the Mediterranean coast.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

As the plane turns for its final approach, the sparkling Mediterranean and the coast of Livorno come into view.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare. It provides the best view of Lake Garda's scale. Depending on the wind direction at PSA, the right side may also offer a quick glimpse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa if the plane performs a circling approach from the sea.
