Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the stunning Jurassic Coast at departure, a high-altitude crossing of the Pyrenees, and a panoramic view of Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana mountains during descent.
Poole Harbour
Spectacular views of Sandbanks and the world's second-largest natural harbour immediately after departure.
Gironde Estuary
The vast waterway leading to Bordeaux, surrounded by the world's most prestigious vineyards.
Pyrenees Mountains
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range stretching across the northwest coast of Mallorca.
Bellver Castle
The unique circular Gothic castle overlooking the Bay of Palma during the landing sequence.
This is the best side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Biscay. Keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing, and look for the rugged cliffs of Sa Calobra as you reach Mallorca.
Isle of Wight
Aerial view of the island's northern coastline and the busy Solent waterway shortly after takeoff.
Normandy Coastline
Vistas of the historic D-Day landing beaches and the Cotentin Peninsula as you enter French airspace.
Palma Cathedral
A close-up view of 'La Seu' and the historic city center during the final seconds of the approach.
Massif Central
Distant views of the rugged volcanic peaks and plateaus of south-central France.
Palma Port
Observation of the massive cruise ships and luxury yachts docked in the capital's harbor.
Sit here for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean. This side is typically better for urban photography of Palma city just before touchdown, provided the wind dictates an approach from the west.
