Which side of the plane to sit from Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred primarily for the iconic departure views of the Blackpool Tower and the spectacular final approach into Palma, which often features views of the city's historic cathedral and the turquoise bay.

Blackpool Tower
An immediate view of the iconic tower and the Golden Mile shortly after departure from BLK.
English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern English coastline.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of south-central France offer a unique textured landscape.
Costa Brava
Glimpses of the rugged Spanish coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean as you leave the mainland.
Palma Cathedral (La Seu)
The quintessential view of the massive Gothic cathedral and the marina during the final turn into Palma Bay.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Palma de Mallorca's cathedral during arrival. For the best lighting, book a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the sandstone of the city and the bay. During takeoff, look out quickly as the Blackpool Tower appears almost immediately if departing to the south.

Views of the Irish Sea and the sweeping sands of St Annes and Lytham during the initial climb.
Isle of Wight
Often visible as the flight exits UK airspace near the Solent, marking the start of the Channel crossing.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of France's longest river and the lush vineyard landscapes of the central regions.
Pyrenees Peaks
A stunning crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often snow-capped until late spring.
Tramuntana Mountains
The rugged UNESCO-listed mountain range on the northwest coast of Mallorca visible during descent.
Choose the left side if you enjoy mountain scenery, as the Pyrenees crossing is often more dramatic on this side. For morning flights, this side will be in direct sunlight, so keep your window shade down periodically to avoid glare. Watch for the northern coastline of Mallorca as you approach the island.
