NRN β†’ PSA

Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic peaks of the Bernese Oberland and a stunning reveal of the Ligurian coastline during the descent into Tuscany.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests of southwestern Germany appearing shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🌊

Lake Lucerne

The complex, fjord-like shape of Switzerland's most scenic central lake.

πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Oberland

Unrivaled views of the iconic Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks piercing the clouds.

πŸ’Ž

Lake Maggiore

The transition from the high Alps to the lush, palm-lined shores of Ticino.

πŸ–οΈ

Ligurian Coast

The sparkling blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the jagged coastline near La Spezia.

The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Prepare your camera approximately 40 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine crossing. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks of the Jungfrau region are particularly spectacular. On the descent, you will often fly parallel to the coast, providing a panoramic view of the Mediterranean before turning inland for PSA.

🏰

Rhine Valley

Distant views of the winding Rhine River and the historic landscape of western Germany.

πŸ”οΈ

Glarus Alps

Sharp, glaciated peaks of the eastern Swiss Alps as you cross into high-altitude terrain.

πŸ’§

Lake Como

The distinctive Y-shaped glacial lake nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps.

πŸ™οΈ

Milan Metropolis

The sprawling urban landscape of Lombardy, often visible under clear Mediterranean skies.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged 'backbone' of Italy that separates the Po Valley from the Tuscan plains.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides excellent views of Lake Como and the Italian Lakes region. Keep a sharp eye out during the final approach over Pisa; if the wind dictates a northern landing, you might spot the Leaning Tower on the left as the plane banks toward the runway.
