Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Right Side typically provides a superior angle for the jagged Dolomites and the picturesque transition from the Tuscan hills into the heart of the Austrian Alps.
Tuscan Landscape
Rolling hills and the northern reaches of the Apennine Mountains immediately after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the pale, jagged limestone peaks including the Sella Group and Marmolada.
Grossglockner View
Distant views of Austria's highest peak if the flight path tracks slightly east of the main corridor.
Danube River
The crossing of the massive Danube river as it flows through Upper Austria toward Linz.
South Bohemian Castles
Look for the red roofs and historic ponds of Southern Bohemia as the plane enters Czech airspace.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Sit here for the best views of the Dolomites, which are the visual highlight of the trip. Morning flights will have the best lighting for photography on this side, though winter flights may experience some glare from the snow-covered peaks.
Carrara Marble Quarries
The striking white patches of the Apuan Alps where the world's finest marble is extracted.
Lake Garda
A magnificent view of Italy's largest lake tucked between the Po Valley and the Alps.
Zillertal Alps
Glaciated peaks and deep u-shaped valleys of the Austrian Tyrol region.
Munich Surroundings
Views of the Bavarian landscape and potentially the Allianz Arena on a clear descent path.
Šumava National Park
The dense, ancient forests marking the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for spotting Lake Garda shortly after reaching cruising altitude and the sprawl of Munich as you begin the descent into Prague.
