A wide range of flights to Pisa is available from most major UK airports, although many routes only operate a couple of times each week. A major exception from the list is Birmingham, which has previously had flights to Pisa operated by Ryanair, but this route no longer operates.
If you can't find flight timings to suit your travel plans, then you could fly out with one airline and back to a different airport with another airline.
The closest alternative airport to Pisa is Florence, although this only has a very small selection of direct flights from the UK, as its operations are heavily restricted by its short runway and the surrounding densely populated urban area.
Pisa is primarily used by low-cost airlines, and all the major players are represented here. However, you can also find direct flights to Pisa from London Heathrow with British Airways, and other major European airlines offer connecting flights to Pisa or Florence via their respective hubs.

That said, the city is dominated by the Leaning Tower (or Campanile, to give it its original title), built from the 12th century onwards and standing - sorry, leaning - 180 ft.
Go early, if you’re planning to see this most famous of Pisa’s sights, and don’t take the under-eights (they’re not allowed up), the elderly (the 300 steps are narrow and, as you’d expect, slanted), anyone with vertigo (the guardrails at the very top are far from reassuring), or habitual shoppers: all bags have to be stored (free of charge) in ground-floor lockers.
Next door, across the Piazza del Duomo, stands the Duomo itself (a.k.a. Santa Maria del Fiore), a cathedral celebrated for its beautiful marbled walls. (The nearby Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, full of original documents, plans and sketches, serves as a useful “how they did it” guide.)
Given Italy’s fervent Catholicism, it’s no surprise Pisa goes big on religion: there’s the circular Baptistery, with its remarkable acoustics and pulpit, the Holy Field (Camposanto), where the Crusaders brought soil back from the Holy Land, and the Gothic spires of Santa Maria della Spina, to name just three of the city’s most sacred spots.
Some distance behind the priest, you’ll find the artist, the trader, and the intellectual. It’s a sign of religion’s dominance in this part of the world that the city’s foremost art gallery, the National Museum of San Matteo, is housed in a Benedictine monastery.
The rich Florentine merchants of the past lined the Via Santa Maria, and the Piazza del Cavalieri, with mansions and palaces that still stand today. And the mathematician and scientist Galileo Galilei also made his home here, a fact celebrated at the Domus Galileiana.
Yet Pisa also knows how to party, as is evident from the illuminated Festa di San Ranieri and the Gioco del Ponte (Game of the Bridge), an annual competition between the city’s north and south banks that’s the equivalent of those cheese-rolling free-for-alls in certain East Midlands villages…

What I don't get though is why can't I see any flights to Pisa from Birmingham. Do I really have to fly from East Mids instead, and even then, only with Ryanair?
We'd really like to travel round Tuscany and take in Florence and maybe Perugia - there must be a better way?

There are plenty of other options are available forgetting to Pisa, but the most obvious one is indeed to fly with Ryanair from East Midlands.
If that doesn't appeal, then I would suggest looking at flights to Rome and then travelling up from there to Perugia and on to Florence.
