Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks and a stunning aerial approach over the Serra de Tramuntana mountains before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Landes Forest

The largest maritime pine forest in Europe stretching south from Bordeaux toward the mountains.

🏔️

High Pyrenees

Magnificent views of the tallest peaks in the range, including Aneto and the Vignemale.

🌾

Aragon Steppes

The unique, arid landscape of the Ebro River valley in northern Spain before reaching the sea.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

UNESCO World Heritage mountain range running along Mallorca's northwest coast visible on descent.

⛵

Bay of Palma

Sweeping views of the city, the historic cathedral, and the harbor during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Pyrenees. Keep your camera ready as you cross the mountains and during the final descent over Mallorca's rugged west coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Vast estates of the Médoc and Graves regions visible shortly after takeoff from Mérignac.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

View of the rugged peaks and high mountain valleys near the border of Andorra.

🌊

Costa Brava

The turquoise waters and rocky inlets of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline as you cross the shore.

📍

Cap de Formentor

The dramatic northern tip of Mallorca with its iconic lighthouse and limestone cliffs.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the Garonne River loops near Bordeaux and the transition from French farmland to the Mediterranean coast.
