Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks including the Tuscan capital, the Venetian Lagoon, the Danube River in Vienna, and the dramatic Tatra Mountains on descent.
Florence & Tuscany
A breathtaking perspective of the Duomo and the Arno River as the plane turns North-East.
Venetian Lagoon
The unmistakable 'fish' shape of Venice and the intricate network of islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Julian Alps
Views of Mount Triglav and the pristine, snow-capped peaks of the Slovenian and Austrian border.
Vienna & The Danube
The Austrian capital's sprawling layout and the massive blue ribbon of the Danube river winding through it.
Tatra Mountains
On the approach to Krakow, the high, rocky peaks of the Tatras provide a stunning backdrop to the south.
This is the 'landmark' side. Watch the window approximately 10-15 minutes after takeoff for Florence and 30 minutes in for Venice. In winter, the right side provides the best views of the sunlight hitting the southern faces of the Alps and the Tatras.
Northern Apennines
Dramatic ridges and deep valleys of the Pistoiese mountains visible shortly after takeoff from Pisa.
Po Valley Cities
Aerial views of historic northern Italian cities like Mantua and Verona nestled in the fertile plains.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged limestone peaks and UNESCO-listed landscapes of the South Tyrol region.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Deep blue alpine lakes and the surrounding Austrian peaks visible as you cross into Central Europe.
Brno Panorama
Clear views of the Moravian capital and its historic Spilberk Castle during the cruise phase over Czechia.
The left side is excellent for capturing the verticality of the Dolomites. For photography, this side is preferred during afternoon flights as it remains in the shade, preventing cabin glare and harsh highlights on the mountains.
