Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a continuous panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French Riviera and the rugged Ligurian coast, with the Alps visible in the background.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the eastern end of the Pyrenees mountain range is visible to the north after departure.
Marseille & Calanques
View the historic Vieux-Port and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.
French Riviera
Breathtaking views of Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, and the principality of Monaco's skyline.
Maritime Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks rising sharply from the Mediterranean coastline.
Cinque Terre
The five famous colorful villages of Liguria clinging to the steep coastal cliffs.
Choose the left side for superior coastal and mountain views. For morning flights, this side provides better lighting for photography as the sun is to the south. During the final approach into PSA, keep an eye out for the Arno River winding through the Tuscan landscape.
Balearic Sea
Vast, shimmering blue vistas of the Mediterranean immediately after departing Valencia.
Northern Corsica
The wild, mountainous finger of Cap Corse may be visible on the southern horizon.
Isle of Elba
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Depending on the landing pattern, the Square of Miracles can be spotted just before touchdown.
The right side is best for those who prefer open sea views and spotting Mediterranean islands. On approach, if the aircraft circles from the south, the right side offers a chance to see the Leaning Tower and the Cathedral complex shortly before landing.
