Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Carrara marble quarries during departure, the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps, and the dramatic approach over the western side of the Oslofjord.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Pisa and Versilia Coast

Aerial view of the Square of Miracles and the sandy beaches of the Tuscan coastline immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Carrara Marble Quarries

The striking white 'scars' on the Apuan Alps where the world-renowned marble has been mined for centuries.

❄️

Swiss Alpine Peaks

Spectacular views of the Bernese Oberland, including glaciers and snow-capped peaks like the Eiger and Jungfrau.

🏞️

Lake Constance

The western expanse of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🌊

Jutland West Coast

The long, sandy dunes of Denmark's western edge against the North Sea.

🇳🇴

South-Western Norway

The rugged transition from the Skagerrak sea to the forested hills of the Telemark region.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Alps' most dramatic peaks. On evening flights, this side catches the golden hour and sunset over the North Sea. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the Leaning Tower if the flight path tracks northward along the coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Italian Apennines

The mountainous spine of Italy stretching toward the eastern horizon.

🏰

Southern Germany

Views of the rolling hills of Bavaria and the dense forests of Central Germany.

⚓

Hamburg Port

On clear days, the massive cranes and industrial landscape of one of Europe's largest ports are visible.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

The impressive suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.

🏙️

Oslo City & Fjord

As the plane turns for its final approach, you can often see the city of Oslo and the many islands of the inner fjord.

🌲

Norwegian Boreal Forest

The vast, emerald-green 'Marka' forests that surround Oslo Airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It often provides a better perspective of the Oslo city center and the Opera House during the descent if the aircraft approaches from the south over the fjord. Watch for the Danish islands mid-flight.
