Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged western coastline of Corsica and the most iconic views of Palma de Mallorca, including the cathedral and harbor, during the standard approach.
Apennine Mountains
Dramatic views of the mountain range dividing the Italian peninsula immediately after takeoff from Bologna.
Corsican Peaks
Stunning vistas of the rugged, high-altitude interior and the jagged western cliffs of Corsica.
Ligurian Sea
Deep blue views of the sea with the distant French Riviera and Monaco visible on clear days.
Palma Cathedral (La Seu)
An unbeatable view of the massive Gothic cathedral and the Bay of Palma during the landing sequence.
Palma Harbor
Watch the countless yachts and cruise ships docked in the capital city as the plane banks for arrival.
Book the right side for the 'money shot' of Palma de Mallorca. If the aircraft lands on Runway 24L or 24R (the most common configuration), you will see the entire city and cathedral. On sunset flights, this side experiences beautiful golden hour lighting over the sea.
Tuscan Landscapes
Aerial views of the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany shortly after crossing the Apennines.
Elba Island
Spot the historic island of Elba, known for Napoleon's exile, nestled in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Costa Smeralda
Glittering turquoise waters and luxury resorts along the northeastern coast of Sardinia.
Cabrera Archipelago
A protected maritime-terrestrial national park visible just south of Mallorca during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Mediterranean sun. It is also the best side for spotting the Italian coastline and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
