Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the winner primarily for the spectacular transit over the Western Alps, providing a direct view of Mont Blanc and the high peaks, followed by a scenic crossing of the Welsh mountains.
Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of the islands of Elba and Capraia shortly after climbing out from Pisa.
The Western Alps
Dramatic, close-up views of Mont Blanc and the Aosta Valley as the plane heads North-West.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the dense concentration of historic French chateaux in central France.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged, glaciated peaks of North Wales before the final crossing of the Irish Sea.
Howth Head
The rocky peninsula marking the northern edge of Dublin Bay during the final approach.
For morning flights, the left side provides excellent lighting for the Alps without direct sun glare. If the flight lands on Runway 28 (common for Dublin), the left side offers the best views of the coastline and the North Dublin suburbs. Keep an eye out about 25-35 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain peaks.
Cinque Terre
The colorful, iconic coastal villages along the rugged Ligurian coastline of Italy.
Lake Geneva
The vast crescent-shaped lake spanning the border between France and Switzerland.
Paris Cityscape
On clear days, the dense urban layout of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the north.
English Channel
Watching the heavy maritime traffic in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling 'Garden of Ireland' hills visible to the south during the descent into Dublin.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a broader view of the French plains and the English Channel. During the descent, if the plane turns south of the city, the right side provides a beautiful panorama of the Dublin mountains and the city center sprawl.
