PSA → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior on this route as it offers the most dramatic views of the Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc, and a beautiful approach over the historic Fontainebleau forest south of Paris.

French Riviera
As the plane crosses from Italy into France, enjoy sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Côte d'Azur.
The High Alps
The star attraction; look east to see the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps and the towering Mont Blanc.
Burgundy Vineyards
Fly over the meticulously organized patchwork of some of the world's most famous wine-producing regions.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive, historic royal hunting forest that serves as a primary landmark just before touchdown at Orly.
The right side is the prime spot for mountain lovers. For the best views of the Alps, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing. On clear days, the visibility of the mountain range is spectacular. If flying in the late afternoon, the lighting on the peaks provides excellent photo opportunities.

Pisa & Arno River
Visible almost immediately after takeoff, providing a bird's-eye view of the city's historic center and the Square of Miracles.
Ligurian Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged Italian Riviera and the colorful villages of Cinque Terre hugging the cliffs.
Massif Central
As the flight moves into central France, the ancient volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region come into view.
Parisian Skyline
On the final descent into Orly, look forward to seeing the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of southern Paris.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the first 20 minutes of the flight for Italian coastal scenery. During winter months, the low sun in the late afternoon can create dramatic shadows over the French countryside.
