Which side of the plane to sit from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the northern Adriatic coastline and the most iconic sights during the descent into Pisa, including the Leaning Tower if landing on the primary runway.
Krujë Mountains
Rugged limestone cliffs and the historic town of Krujë visible immediately after departing from TIA.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Distant northern views of the Croatian islands and the indented Balkan coastline during the early cruise phase.
Northern Apennines
Direct views over the dramatic ridges of the Apennines separating the Adriatic from the Tyrrhenian side.
Florence (Firenze)
The unmistakable red dome of the Duomo and the historic center of Florence are often visible just before the final descent.
Piazza dei Miracoli
A world-class view of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Cathedral during the final seconds of landing on Runway 04.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Pisa. Most flights land on Runway 04, which places the city center and its famous tower directly out the right-side windows. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Tuscan landscape.
Durrës Coastline
Aerial view of Albania's largest port city and the sweeping sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast shortly after takeoff.
Open Adriatic
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water as the plane crosses towards the Italian peninsula.
Gran Sasso Massif
Distant views of the highest peaks in the Apennine Mountains, often snow-capped during winter and spring.
Umbrian Hills
The lush green rolling landscapes of central Italy as the flight transitions from the coast inland.
Elba Island
On clear days during the final approach descent, you can spot the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago to the south.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side is better for viewing the southern Apennine ridges and the deep blues of the Tyrrhenian Sea upon reaching the Italian coast.
