Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Pisa to London. The right side delivers the most dramatic and varied scenery. At takeoff you get the Ligurian coast and Arno valley. Crossing the Alps en route, the right side faces west giving views of the western Alpine chain and potentially Lake Geneva area. Over France the right side looks toward the Atlantic coast. The landing view on the left is pleasant but relatively subdued English countryside.

During takeoff from Pisa (PSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. PSA's primary runway 04R/22L means northbound departures climb out heading roughly northeast. The right side faces northwest, giving you a clear view back over the city of Pisa, the Arno River valley, and the Ligurian coast stretching toward La Spezia. The left side faces inland toward the Apennines but the angle is less rewarding on this heading. Notable sights include: Arno River snaking toward the sea, Ligurian coastline and Gulf of La Spezia, Pisa city center and its cathedral complex, Tuscan coastal plain.

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Gatwick's runway 08L/26R means westbound arrivals typically approach from the east on heading 260. The left side faces south, giving views over the Surrey Hills and the English Channel coast near Brighton. The right side looks north toward Greater London but the approach track keeps central London well to the north and less well-framed. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills and North Downs, Brighton and the English Channel coast, Crawley town below the final approach, M23 motorway corridor.

The flight from Pisa (PSA) to Gatwick (LGW) takes Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes.

The route crosses the northwestern Apennines shortly after departure, then traverses the French Alps or pre-Alps depending on routing, crosses the Rhône valley and central France, passes over the Loire valley, crosses the English Channel near Dieppe or Boulogne, then descends over the Weald of Kent and Surrey into Gatwick.
