Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Central Alps, including views of the Zugspitze, and provides a spectacular vista of the Ligurian coastline and the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the final approach.
Central Alpine Massif
Unrivaled views of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, and the dramatic glaciers of the Swiss-Austrian border.
Lake Constance
The enormous blue expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Ligurian Coast
As the plane descends, the stunning rugged coastline of the Italian Riviera and Cinque Terre becomes visible.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Often visible during the final banking maneuvers into PSA, providing a rare aerial look at the Piazza dei Miracoli.
The right side is essential for the iconic Pisa approach. Depending on wind direction, aircraft often circle over the Mediterranean, offering a full view of the coast and the city landmarks. To avoid glare, the right side is preferred for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft.
Berlin Capital View
Clear views of the Berlin city center and the sprawling Brandenburg forests immediately after departure.
Eastern Alps
Panoramic vistas of the Austrian Tyrol and the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites to the east.
Po Valley
The geometric patchwork of the fertile Italian plains and the winding path of the Po River.
Florence Distant View
On clear days, the red-tiled Duomo of Florence can be spotted tucked in the Arno Valley to the southeast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Alpine snow. This side is also better for spotting the winding Arno river as you enter the Tuscan region. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to see the transition from the rugged Apennines to the rolling Tuscan hills.
