Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of diverse European landscapes, including the Rhine Valley, distant views of the Alps, and a more favorable angle for seeing the iconic Palma Cathedral during the final approach into Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Limfjord Estuary

Aerial view of the complex waterways and bridges surrounding Aalborg immediately after takeoff.

🇩🇪

Rhine-Ruhr Region

Witness the industrial heart of Germany and the winding path of the Rhine River.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.

🚤

French Riviera

The transition from the French coastline near Montpellier into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

As the plane banks for landing at PMI, the massive Gothic La Seu Cathedral is frequently visible.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the European continent perfectly. During the descent into Palma, keep your camera ready as the plane usually makes a wide left turn over the bay, providing a panoramic view of the city and the harbor.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Wadden Sea

Stunning patterns of sandbanks and tidal flats along the German and Dutch North Sea coasts.

🌋

Massif Central

Flight path often crosses over the extinct volcanic domes and rugged plateaus of central France.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A dramatic crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often still snow-covered in spring.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range provides a rugged backdrop as the plane nears the island.

🏝️

Sa Dragonera

The distinctive dragon-shaped island off the western tip of Mallorca is often visible during the initial descent.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly rewarding for mountain lovers, as the Pyrenees crossing is a major highlight. Look for the turquoise waters of the Mallorcan coves (Calas) as you approach the island from the northwest.
