Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of coastal vistas, including the departure from Gran Canaria, the Spanish Levant, and a front-row seat to the French and Italian Rivieras as you approach Pisa.
Gran Canaria Volcanics
Dramatic views of the northern coastline and the rugged, mountainous interior of the island immediately after takeoff.
Spanish Levante
Clear views of the Mediterranean coastline of Spain, potentially passing over or near Valencia and the Ebro Delta.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing Spain and France are visible to the north.
French Riviera
Breathtaking views of the Cรดte d'Azur, including the cities of Cannes and Nice, as the plane transits the Gulf of Lion.
Ligurian Coast
A stunning perspective of the Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera during the final descent into Tuscany.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photography of the European coastline. Watch for the dramatic shift from the deep blue of the Mediterranean to the turquoise shallows of the Italian shore during the descent.
Eastern Canary Islands
Depending on the departure path, you may see the arid, golden landscapes of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote to the east.
Moroccan Coastline
Distant views of the African continent and the Atlas Mountains if the flight path follows the Moroccan shoreline.
The Balearic Islands
Excellent views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca as the flight crosses the western Mediterranean.
Corsica
The rugged, mountainous interior and jagged coastline of the French island are often visible in high detail.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Elba Island and the smaller islands of the archipelago just before reaching the Italian mainland.
The right side is ideal for island spotting, particularly the Balearics and Corsica. During afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Leaning Tower of Pisa just before touchdown if the aircraft approaches from the south.
