Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the glamorous French Riviera and offers the most iconic views of the rugged Tramuntana mountains and Palma city during the final approach.
Western Alps
Look back and right after takeoff to see the snow-capped peaks of the Cottian Alps and the distinctive Monviso peak.
CΓ΄te d'Azur
Spectacular views of the French coastline, including Nice, Cannes, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif.
Gulf of Lion
The deep turquoise transition from the French coast into the open Mediterranean Sea.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed limestone mountain range that runs along Mallorca's northwest coast, visible during the approach.
Palma Cathedral
If the plane approaches from the north for Runway 24, the right side offers a stunning view of the 'La Seu' Cathedral and the harbor.
Sit on the right side for the most dramatic scenery. For the best photos of the French Riviera, aim for an afternoon flight when the sun is behind the plane. This side is also superior for capturing the iconic skyline of Palma de Mallorca just before touchdown.
Po Valley
Aerial view of the industrial heartland and the sprawling suburbs of Milan shortly after departure from Bergamo.
Italian Riviera
Distant views of the Ligurian coastline, including the areas near Genoa and the Portofino peninsula.
Corsica Silhouette
On clear days, the northern finger of Corsica (Cap Corse) is visible on the eastern horizon over the Ligurian Sea.
Menorca
As the flight nears the Balearic archipelago, Mallorca's sister island Menorca can often be spotted to the east.
Mallorcan Plains
Views of the central 'Es Pla' region, characterized by windmills and traditional agricultural plots during descent.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you fly southwest. It is also the best side to spot the distant outlines of the Tuscan archipelago and Corsica during the middle segment of the flight.
