Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🍷

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.
