PSATIA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the rolling Tuscan hills immediately after takeoff, the highest peaks of the central Apennines, and a more dramatic entrance into the Balkan Peninsula over the Albanian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Pisa Landmarks

A quick glimpse of the Square of Miracles and the Leaning Tower immediately after departure from PSA.

🍷

Tuscan Countryside

Geometric patterns of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads of the Chianti region.

🗻

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The majestic, snow-capped peaks of the highest massif in the Apennines visible to the south.

🌊

Gargano Peninsula

The distinct 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting out into the Adriatic Sea with its white limestone cliffs.

⛰️

Mount Dajti

The impressive limestone massif that overlooks Tirana, marking the end of the journey.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Look out early after takeoff for the Tuscan landscape, and keep your camera ready during the descent as the plane banks toward Tirana for a perfect view of the Dajti Mountain.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏛️

Florence Horizon

Distant views of the iconic Duomo and Florence's cityscape if the flight path tracks slightly north.

🏔️

Northern Apennines

Rugged ridges and deep valleys of the mountain range that forms the spine of Italy.

🏖️

Riviera Romagnola

The long, golden sandy stretches of the Adriatic coast near Ancona and Rimini.

🚢

Adriatic Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea dotted with merchant ships and tankers.

🏰

Krujë Fortress

The historic mountain-side castle of Albania's national hero, Skanderbeg, during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Italian coast. This side is also superior for spotting the distant Dalmatian islands of Croatia if the sky is clear during the mid-flight crossing.
