Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of Barcelona's urban layout during departure and typically provides a breathtaking view of the southern Menorcan coves and the grand entrance to Mahón harbor during the landing sequence.
Barcelona Skyline
A perfect vantage point for the Sagrada Família, Agbar Tower, and the unique grid pattern of Eixample.
Montserrat & Tibidabo
Distant views of the jagged Montserrat massif and the church atop Tibidabo mountain.
Mallorca Silhouette
On clear days, the high peaks of the Sierra de Tramuntana on Mallorca are visible to the southwest.
Southern Calas
Aerial views of the famous turquoise water and white sand bays like Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarella.
Port of Mahón
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest natural harbors as the plane descends toward the runway.
The right side is best for morning flights to capture Barcelona in soft light. For the best experience, sit well behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Mahón harbor entry, which is the highlight of this short flight.
Port of Barcelona
Detailed views of the industrial port, cruise terminals, and the iconic sail-shaped W Hotel.
Costa del Maresme
The long stretch of golden sand beaches and coastal towns extending northeast from the city.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the Balearic Sea, often showing the distinct color change near the island shelf.
Fortress of Isabel II
The massive 19th-century military complex on the La Mola peninsula at the entrance of Mahón harbor.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly good for spotting the rugged northern 'Tramuntana' coast of Menorca if the aircraft approaches from the north.
