Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Pisa. While left gives a decent London view on departure, right side wins overall. Once cruising southeast across France and into Italy, right-side passengers get the better angle on the Alps crossing, the Po Valley, and the Apuan Alps and coastal approach into Pisa. The landing view on the right is particularly rewarding.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Gatwick's main runway 26L departure heads westward before turning southeast, and a left-side seat gives you views over the Surrey Hills and the northern edge of the South Downs. You'll also get a clear look back toward central London as the aircraft banks south. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills AONB, South Downs ridge, Crawley town below, glimpse of London skyline to the north.

When landing at Pisa (PSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Pisa's runway 04R means aircraft typically approach from the southwest over the Ligurian Sea and Tyrrhenian coast, giving right-side passengers a direct view of the Arno River valley, the city of Pisa itself, and the coastal plain. The Apuan Alps are visible to the right as a dramatic backdrop. Notable sights include: Arno River valley, Pisa city and Cathedral Square area, Apuan Alps, Tyrrhenian Sea coastline.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Pisa (PSA) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast over the English Channel, crosses the French coast near Dieppe, passes over northern France and Burgundy, crosses the Alps roughly over the Mont Blanc massif or Gran Paradiso area depending on routing, then descends over the Po Valley in northern Italy before tracking southwest down the Apennine spine toward the Tuscan coast and Pisa.
