Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an exceptional continuous panorama of the Italian and French Rivieras, including the rugged coastline of Provence and a spectacular approach past the Pyrenees.
Cinque Terre & Gulf of La Spezia
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the colorful villages perched on the Italian cliffs.
French Riviera
Enjoy bird's-eye views of Monaco, Nice, and Cannes as the flight path parallels the glamorous Cote d'Azur.
Marseille & Calanques
View the massive port of Marseille and the stunning white limestone inlets of the Calanques National Park.
Eastern Pyrenees
During the descent into Girona, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees provide a dramatic backdrop to the north.
Girona Old Town
If approaching from the north, you may see the historic cathedral and colorful houses along the Onyar River.
Sit on the right for the most geographically dense scenery. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to get clear shots of the coastal cities. In winter, the snow on the Pyrenees is particularly vibrant during afternoon flights.
Cap Corse
On a clear day, look south to see the northern finger of the island of Corsica rising from the sea.
Ligurian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean with various shipping lanes and ferry wakes visible.
Costa Brava Southern Edge
The final descent offers views of the rugged Catalan coastline and the Mediterranean beaches near Blanes.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the left side as the sun is positioned in the southeast. Look for the silhouette of Elba and northern Corsica shortly after leaving Italian airspace.
