Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Spanish coastline and the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon arrival in Mallorca. It also provides a better angle for the Massif Central and the western Pyrenees during the mid-flight phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Jutland Coastline

Views of the scenic West Jutland coast and the North Sea transition as the flight departs Denmark.

🏰

Rhine Valley

Aerial views of the industrial heartland and the historic Rhine River waterway in western Germany.

🌋

Massif Central

The rugged, volcanic landscape of central France, featuring ancient craters and deep green valleys.

🏔️

Pyrenees Ridge

The majestic mountain border between France and Spain is often visible to the west during the cruise south.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A stunning close-up of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range and rocky coastline during the approach to Palma.

The right side is unbeatable for the arrival into Palma; if the plane approaches from the north, you will fly directly alongside the dramatic Tramuntana cliffs. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Clear views of the Kattegat sea and the scattered islands of eastern Denmark shortly after takeoff from Aarhus.

⚓

Hamburg & Elbe

A great perspective of Germany's largest port city and the winding Elbe River as you head south.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

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

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The unique salt pans and marshlands of the Rhone Delta near Montpellier, known for their pink hues.

🏝️

Minorca & Alcudia

Visuals of the neighbor island Minorca and the northern bays of Mallorca during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the distant silhouette of the Alps. Look out for the 'Golfe du Lion' coastline as you transition from France to the Mediterranean Sea.
