LPL โ PSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the high Alps during the mid-flight cruise and provides the best chance of spotting the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the final approach descent.
English Midlands
Bird's-eye views of the rolling English countryside and historic towns like Oxford as you head south.
The French and Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers, often passing near Mont Blanc depending on the air corridor.
Lake Geneva
Look for the crescent-shaped blue expanse of Lac Lรฉman nestled between the mountains and the Jura region.
Apennine Mountains
As the flight crosses into Italy, the rugged ridges of the Apennines dominate the landscape before the descent.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
On a standard approach to Runway 04R, the Piazza dei Miracoli and the tower are often visible on the left.
Sit on the left for the best mountain panoramas. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-morning flights are ideal to avoid harsh glare. During the descent into PSA, keep your camera ready as the plane turns toward the runway; the Leaning Tower appears relatively small but distinct.
Liverpool Skyline
Immediate views of the Mersey, the Royal Albert Dock, and the cityโs iconic football stadiums shortly after takeoff.
Normandy Coastline
Views of the dramatic cliffs and beaches of Northern France as the aircraft crosses the English Channel.
Ligurian Sea
As you approach Italy, the deep blue of the Mediterranean opens up, offering a contrast to the mountainous terrain.
Cinque Terre
On clear days during the descent, you may spot the colorful coastal villages clinging to the cliffs north of La Spezia.
The right side is excellent for coastal lovers. It offers a great view of Liverpool at the start and the Italian coastline during the descent. If the flight arrives late in the afternoon, the right side will experience significant sun glare, so window shades may need to be lowered.
