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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of island vistas and coastal scenery. Passengers typically fly directly over or near the Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Mallorca) and the northern tip of Corsica, followed by the stunning Tuscan Archipelago including Elba Island before the final approach into Pisa.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Ibiza and Formentera

Stunning views of the Pityusic Islands with their turquoise coastal waters and white sand beaches.

๐ŸŒŠ

Mallorca

A full view of the largest Balearic island, including the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and Palma Bay.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Cap Corse

The dramatic northern peninsula of Corsica, often appearing as a rugged finger pointing toward the mainland.

๐Ÿท

Elba Island

The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for its iron mines and as Napoleon's place of exile.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Tuscan Shoreline

The pine forests of San Rossore Park and the mouth of the Arno River just moments before touchdown.

The right side is unbeatable for island spotting. Choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Balearics. During midday flights, the sun is high and to the south, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Mediterranean islands.

Sevilla Aerial View

Panoramic views of the Giralda tower and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Sierra Morena

The rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between Andalusia and the central Spanish plateau.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Valencia Coastline

Clear views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the expansive Port of Valencia as the flight crosses the coast.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

French Riviera

Distant but visible views of the Marseille coastline and the glittering Cรดte d'Azur under clear conditions.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Southern Alps

The snow-capped peaks of the Maritime Alps visible to the north during the transit across the Ligurian Sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern glare. On the descent into Pisa, if the aircraft approaches from the north, look for the distant white marble scars of the Carrara quarries in the Apuan Alps.
