About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Pisa (PSA) to Schiphol (AMS)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Pisa to Amsterdam. The right side delivers the most dramatic scenery of the flight: the Arno valley, Ligurian coast, and Apuan Alps on departure, then the Alps themselves during the cruise over Switzerland and southern Germany. The left side at landing over Amsterdam is good but the right side's alpine views during cruise tip the balance decisively.

What can I see during takeoff from Pisa in Pisa?

During takeoff from Pisa (PSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. PSA typically departs on runway 04R heading northeast, which puts the right side facing northwest toward the Arno River valley and the city of Pisa itself, including the Campo dei Miracoli area. As the aircraft climbs and turns north, the right side also picks up the Ligurian coast and the Apuan Alps inland. Notable sights include: Arno River snaking west toward the sea, Ligurian coastline, Apuan Alps (marble-white peaks northeast of Pisa), Gulf of La Spezia.

What can I see when landing at Schiphol in Amsterdam?

When landing at Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Schiphol predominantly uses runways oriented from the southwest, with aircraft on approach from the south tracking over the Dutch polder landscape. The left side on final approach faces southeast, giving views over Amsterdam's canal ring, the IJ waterway, and the distinctive geometric patchwork of the Dutch polders. The right side faces open North Sea and flat featureless coastal dunes. Notable sights include: Amsterdam canal ring and city center, IJ waterway and Amsterdam harbour, Dutch polder grid (rectangular fields and drainage canals), Westpoort industrial port district.

What does the Pisa to Amsterdam flight path pass over?

After departing Pisa the route tracks north over the Po Valley (flat, hazy, heavily farmed), then crosses the Alps over or near the Swiss border — the Bernese Alps and Lake Geneva area may be visible depending on exact routing. Over Switzerland expect the Swiss Plateau and possibly Lake Zurich or Lake Constance. The route then crosses southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Rhine Valley) before entering the flat Netherlands. The Rhine and Maas river deltas in the southern Netherlands are visible on descent.
