Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, starting with the city of Pisa, moving across the iconic French Riviera, and culminating with views of the Balearic Islands and the massive Teide volcano on Tenerife during the final descent.
Search flights from PSA to LPA
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Immediately after takeoff, if heading west, the Piazza dei Miracoli is clearly visible from the right windows.
French Riviera
Stunning vistas of Cannes, Antibes, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif.
The Balearic Islands
A prime vantage point for viewing the rugged northern coasts of Mallorca and Ibiza.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak on Tenerife often rises above the clouds to the west as you approach Gran Canaria.
Gran Canaria Highlands
As the plane banks for arrival at LPA, see the central volcanic peaks and deep ravines of the island.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for coastal views of Europe. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to see the Leaning Tower during takeoff. On the approach to Las Palmas, the silhouette of Tenerife and its volcano is a major highlight that shouldn't be missed. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Spanish and French coastlines.

Ligurian Archipelago
Clear views of the islands of Gorgona and Capraia shortly after departing the Italian coast.
Cap Corse
The rugged northern finger of Corsica is often visible jutting into the Mediterranean.
Gulf of Valencia
Views of the massive industrial port and the sprawling Spanish coastline as you head southwest.
Moroccan Coastline
The distant outline of the North African coast and the western edges of the Atlas Mountains.
Fuerteventura
The turquoise waters and white sand dunes of the neighboring Canary Island appear during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. This side is also better for spotting the African coastline if the flight path tracks closer to the east. Watch for the stark contrast between the deep blue ocean and the sandy shores of Fuerteventura just minutes before landing.
