Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Ligurian coastline and Cinque Terre shortly after takeoff, followed by a direct view of the majestic Swiss Alps and the winding Rhine River during the northern descent.
Ligurian Coastline
Stunning views of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of La Spezia early in the flight.
Western Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Swiss peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses central Europe.
Lake Maggiore
A clear view of the deep blue waters and Borromean Islands nestled in the Alpine foothills.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen landscapes of southwestern Germany provide a lush green contrast.
Lower Rhine Valley
Follow the arterial waterway of Europe as the aircraft descends toward the German-Dutch border.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out the window 15 minutes after takeoff for a glimpse of the coastal cliffs near La Spezia. During the winter, the snow coverage on the Alps is most dramatic on this side.
Northern Apennines
Rugged mountain ridges visible immediately after departure from Pisa.
Milan Urban Area
The vast metropolitan sprawl of the Lombardy region is often visible to the east.
Central Swiss Alps
Jagged high-altitude peaks including the Glarus Alps appearing mid-flight.
Lake Constance
On clear days, the expansive waters of the Bodensee can be spotted in the distance.
Ruhr Industrial Region
As the plane approaches Weeze, the heavy industrial infrastructure of the Rhine-Ruhr area dominates the horizon.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the western horizon. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Lake Como about 25 minutes into the flight, which often appears as a narrow blue ribbon between the mountains.
