London to Pisa flight path: STN to PSA

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Pisa. The right side offers the only real terrain variety on this flight: fleeting London-area views on departure, then the Alps and Ligurian coastline as the route curves south into Tuscany, culminating in a scenic sea-and-mountain approach to Pisa. The left side stays over flat, monotonous countryside for nearly the entire flight.

During takeoff from Stansted (STN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Climbing out of Stansted on runway 22, the aircraft banks south-southwest, giving right-side passengers a brief look over the Essex countryside and the distant Thames Estuary before leveling onto the southeast track toward the Continent. The left side only shows the flat, featureless fields of East Anglia. Notable sights include: Thames Estuary, Essex countryside, distant London haze.

When landing at Pisa (PSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach into Pisa, flights typically curve in from the northwest over the Ligurian Sea before lining up for runway 21, putting the coastline, the Tuscan archipelago, and the Apuan Alps on the right side. Left-side passengers mostly see the flatter interior plains of Tuscany with less contrast. Notable sights include: Ligurian Sea coastline, Isola d'Elba, Apuan Alps, Arno river delta near Pisa.

The flight from Stansted (STN) to Pisa (PSA) takes 2h 05m.

Western Alps foothills near the France-Switzerland-Italy border, followed by the Po Valley and the northern Apennines as the route descends toward the Tuscan coast.
