Which side of the plane to sit from Belfast International Airport (Belfast) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Northern Ireland's inland waters immediately after takeoff, followed by the rugged Cornish coastline, the famous vineyards of Bordeaux, the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, and a stunning approach over the Bay of Palma.
Lough Neagh
The largest lake in the British Isles is immediately visible to the west after departing Belfast International.
Cornish Peninsula
Breathtaking views of St Ives Bay and the rugged southwestern tip of England if the path crosses Cornwall.
Bordeaux Region
The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards and the Gironde estuary as you traverse Western France.
Central Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing over the highest, often snow-capped peaks of the mountain range separating France and Spain.
Palma Cathedral
On the standard approach into PMI, the massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral is visible right above the harbor.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Pyrenees. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 10 minutes of flight for views of the Bay of Palma. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting for the French coastline.
Isle of Man
Clear views of the Snaefell mountain and the island's coastline shortly after departing the Irish coast.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the historic chateaux of central France visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Barcelona Coast
Aerial perspective of the Catalan capital and its famous grid-patterned Eixample district from a distance.
Montserrat
The unique jagged rock formations of the Montserrat mountain range as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
Cap de Formentor
The dramatic northern tip of Mallorca with its lighthouse and steep cliffs during the initial descent.
Sit on the left if you are flying during the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the Isle of Man and the northern coastline of Mallorca if the aircraft approaches from the north.
