Which side of the plane to sit from Pisa International Airport (Pisa) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Tuscan interior including Florence, followed by the most dramatic peaks of the Dolomites and the Eastern Alps during the transcontinental crossing.
Florence & Arno Valley
Shortly after takeoff from Pisa, look for the iconic Brunelleschi's Dome and the historic center of Florence.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pink-hued limestone peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Upper Adriatic
Far-off views of the Venetian Lagoon and the coastal wetlands of the northern Adriatic Sea.
Brno
The Moravian capital with its distinctive ล pilberk Castle and Petrov Hill cathedral.
Kampinos National Park
A vast green expanse of ancient forest just south of Modlin Airport visible during final approach.
The crossing of the Dolomites is the undisputed highlight of this route, occurring approximately 30-45 minutes after departure; keep your camera ready for the vertical rock faces. For afternoon flights, the right side may experience more glare as the sun moves west.
Versilia Coastline
Aerial views of the famous Italian beaches stretching from Viareggio toward the Ligurian border.
Apuan Alps
The striking white scars of the Carrara marble quarries where Michelangelo sourced his stone.
Western Alpine Chain
Distances views of the higher, glaciated peaks of the Swiss and French Alps on the horizon.
Prague Panorama
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible as the flight path cuts across the Czech Republic.
Wroclaw
Views of the Oder River and the historic bridges of this major Western Polish cultural hub.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the marble quarries. During the descent into Modlin, the left side often gets a wider view of the Vistula River valley as the plane turns for alignment.
