Which side of the plane to sit from George Best Belfast City Airport (Belfast) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Mourne Mountains shortly after takeoff and provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range during the approach into Mallorca.
Mourne Mountains
Spectacular views of Northern Ireland's highest peaks as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.
Snowdonia National Park
On clear days, the rugged peaks of North Wales are visible as you cross the Bristol Channel.
The Pyrenees
Distant, snow-capped peaks of the mountain border between France and Spain are often visible to the west.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range provides a stunning, jagged backdrop during the final descent.
Palma Cathedral
A classic view of the massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor just moments before touchdown.
Sit on the right for the iconic approach into Palma. If the plane lands from the north (Runway 24L/R), you will fly directly alongside the Tramuntana mountains. For late afternoon flights, be aware of the sun setting to the west; use a window shade if the glare is too intense over France.
Belfast Lough
Clear views of the North Down coastline and the Irish Sea immediately after departure from BHD.
Isle of Man
Look out for the central mountain, Snaefell, as you head south over the Irish Sea.
English Channel
Aerial perspective of the world's busiest shipping lanes between the UK and France.
Central France
Vast patchwork of agricultural fields and river valleys throughout the French interior.
Mallorca North Coast
First glimpses of the Balearic coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent into Palma, you may get a distant view of the city, but it is less consistent than the right side's mountain view. Keep an eye out for the Isle of Man approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.
