SVOPSA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Eastern Alps and the Dolomites, offering a spectacular panorama of the high-altitude peaks and the Venetian coastline from a distance as you descend into Italy.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Moscow Cityscape

Upon departure from SVO, enjoy a sprawling view of the Russian capital's northern suburbs and the distant skyline of Moscow City skyscrapers.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

As the flight crosses the Polish-Slovak border, the sharp, granite peaks of the High Tatras offer a stunning contrast to the surrounding plains.

🌊

The Danube River

Watch for the winding path of the Danube as the flight passes near Vienna and Bratislava, marking the gateway to Central Europe.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Experience breathtaking views of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites, known for their unique jagged limestone formations and pale vertical walls.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the shimmering waters of the Adriatic and the distinct shape of the Venetian lagoon are visible to the south during the descent.

For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. The left side is particularly rewarding for seeing the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. During the final approach into Pisa, you may catch a glimpse of the Apennine ridge before the aircraft turns toward the coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚜

Polish Lowlands

View the intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages that define the landscape of Central Poland.

🏰

Prague Region

While the city center may be distant, the rolling hills and Vltava River valley of the Czech Republic are clearly visible.

💧

Lake Garda

As you enter Italian airspace, the deep blue waters of Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake, stand out against the Alpine foothills.

🌾

Po Valley

Observe the geometric precision of the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna plains, one of Europe's most fertile and industrial heartlands.

🏖️

Ligurian Coastline

During the final descent into Pisa, the right side offers views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the coastal stretches leading toward La Spezia.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready during the descent; depending on the landing pattern (Runway 04), you might spot the Leaning Tower of Pisa just minutes before touchdown.
