Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic French Alps, including distant views of Mont Blanc, and the classic aerial perspective of the London metropolitan area and the UK's scenic eastern coastline upon approach.
The Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped French Alps and the distant silhouette of Mont Blanc.
Paris Suburbs
On clear days, the sprawling outskirts of Paris and sometimes the Eiffel Tower are visible in the distance.
White Cliffs
The iconic White Cliffs of Dover and the southeastern tip of England during the Channel crossing.
London Panorama
A wide-angle view of the London skyline, including the Shard and the Thames winding through the city.
Northumberland Coast
Rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and historical landmarks like St. Mary's Lighthouse as you approach NCL.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is positioned to the southeast, beautifully illuminating the Alps. To see the best of the UK coastline, watch for the transition from the English Channel to the North Sea; keep your camera ready for the dramatic descent over the Northumberland shore.
Ligurian Coast
Stunning views of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of Genoa shortly after departure from Pisa.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of south-central France.
English Channel
Busy shipping lanes and the diverse coastline of Normandy as you head toward the UK.
Peak District
The rolling green hills and moorlands of Northern England as the flight crosses the Midlands.
Newcastle City
Excellent views of the River Tyne, the iconic bridges, and St. James' Park during the final descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly rewarding during the final approach into NCL if the flight path circles over the city center, offering a clear view of the urban landscape and the Tyne bridges.
