PSA → LBC
Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Lübeck Blankensee Airport (Luebeck)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the jagged Dolomites during the Alpine crossing and a breathtaking approach over the Baltic coastline and Lübeck's medieval spires.
Pisa & Leaning Tower
Shortly after takeoff from PSA, look down to spot the Piazza dei Miracoli and the world-famous leaning tower.
The Dolomites
Unrivaled views of the pale, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Munich Skyline
Often visible on the right, you can spot the city center and the distinct white bubble of the Allianz Arena stadium.
Elbe River Valley
The wide, meandering Elbe river as it flows through the northern German plains towards Hamburg.
Lübeck Bay
On final approach, enjoy sweeping views of the Baltic Sea and the seaside resort of Travemünde.
Lübeck Old Town
The 'City of Seven Spires' reveals its historic island layout and red-brick Gothic architecture just before landing.
Sit on the right for the iconic Dolomites crossing; the vertical rock faces are most impressive around midday. During the descent into LBC, the right side usually provides the best view of the Baltic coast. Ensure your window is clean for the low-altitude pass over the Lübeck city center.
Ligurian Coastline
Aerial views of the sparkling Mediterranean and the rugged cliffs of the Cinque Terre region shortly after takeoff.
Central Alpine Peaks
Dramatic vistas of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring high-altitude glaciers and deep valleys.
Lake Constance
A glimpse of the massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often visible in clear weather.
Swabian Jura
The rolling hills and dense forests of southwestern Germany, dotted with small traditional villages.
Harz Mountains
Northern Germany's highest range, often shrouded in mist, providing a dark green contrast to the surrounding plains.
For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you might catch a distant view of the Black Forest. Keep an eye out for the metallic glint of the Weser River as you head north.
