Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Norwegian fjords during departure and the stunning UNESCO-protected Tramuntana mountain range as you approach Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇳🇴

Hardangerfjord Region

Breathtaking views of Norway's deep fjords and rugged coastal mountains shortly after takeoff from Bergen.

🇳🇱

Low Countries Coastline

Detailed views of the intricate Dutch coastline, polders, and the massive Delta Works engineering projects.

🗼

Parisian Basin

On clear days, the sprawling metropolitan area of Paris is visible to the east as you cross northern France.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic peaks and rolling green plateaus of central France provide a textured landscape below.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

The Mediterranean coast where France meets the sea, often featuring turquoise waters near Montpellier.

🏔️

Serra de Tramuntana

A spectacular view of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain spine during the final descent into Palma.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. This side is essential for the best fjord views at takeoff. During descent into PMI, the left side typically looks over the island's interior and the dramatic northern coastline before the final turn.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore wind arrays appearing as geometric patterns in the dark blue waters of the North Sea.

🛳️

The English Channel

The world's busiest shipping lane and the distant white cliffs of the UK visible across the water.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

The formidable snow-capped border between France and Spain stands out prominently to the west.

🏙️

Barcelona Coastline

A distant look at the Catalan capital's unique grid layout and the iconic Sagrada Familia.

⛪

La Seu Cathedral

During a standard approach from the north, the right side offers a prime view of Palma's massive Gothic cathedral.

🏰

Bellver Castle

The unique circular 14th-century castle overlooking the Bay of Palma is clearly visible just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Atlantic/Spain to the west. For the iconic 'Palma view'—including the cathedral and harbor—this is the side to be on, provided the aircraft lands from the north (Runway 24).
