Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more dramatic crossing of the Central Alps, clear views of Lake Garda, and a superior perspective of the striking white marble quarries of Carrara during the descent into Tuscany.
Vistula River
Beautiful aerial views of the winding Vistula river valley immediately after departure from WMI.
Bohemian Massif
Expansive views over the historic landscapes of central Czechia and potentially the city of Prague.
Hohe Tauern Alps
Spectacular views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner area.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake appears as a deep blue jewel nestled against the southern Alpine foothills.
Carrara Quarries
The 'white mountains' of the Apuan Alps where the world-famous marble is mined, looking like snow from above.
Piazza dei Miracoli
If the aircraft approaches Pisa from the north, look out for the Leaning Tower just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for photography on morning flights as the sun is on the opposite side. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing for the Apuan Alps; the white patches are marble quarries, not snow. If landing from the south, the right side offers views of the Tyrrhenian coastline.
Warsaw Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Polish capital's high-rises shortly after taking off from Modlin.
Sudetes Mountains
The rugged Karkonosze range marks the border between Poland and the Czech Republic.
Dolomite Peaks
Jagged, pale limestone formations of the Eastern Alps visible as the flight enters Italian airspace.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the shimmering Adriatic coastline and the distant outline of Venice can be spotted.
Tuscan Hinterland
The classic rolling hills and cypress-lined landscapes of northern Tuscany during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you want to see the sunrise on early morning flights, though glare can be intense. This side provides a better view of the sun-drenched Apennine ridges during the late afternoon.
