Which side of the plane to sit from Bern Belp Airport (Bern) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the high peaks of the Swiss and French Alps immediately after takeoff, followed by a stunning panorama of the French Riviera and the northern bays of Mallorca.
Bernese Alps
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shortly after departing from Bern Belp.
French Riviera
The sparkling azure coastline of the Côte d'Azur near Nice and Cannes as the flight moves toward the sea.
Mediterranean Horizon
A vast blue expanse as the aircraft crosses from mainland Europe toward the Balearic archipelago.
Badia d'Alcúdia
The turquoise waters and sweeping sandy curves of northern Mallorca's famous bays during the descent.
Palma Skyline
A distant view of the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria (La Seu) if the approach circles from the east.
For morning flights, the left side provides excellent lighting for photography of the Alps without direct glare. During the descent into PMI, the left side typically offers a better view of the island's coastline as the plane maneuvers for landing. Ensure you look out within the first 10 minutes of flight for the best mountain views.
Jura Mountains
The folded limestone ridges of the Jura range visible to the west shortly after takeoff.
Lake Geneva
On clear days, the distinctive crescent shape of Lac Léman and the city of Geneva can be seen in the distance.
Rhone Valley
The winding Rhone River and its famous vineyards as the flight path cuts south through France.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans, lagoons, and marshlands of southern France near the Mediterranean coast.
Serra de Tramuntana
Mallorca's rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range, visible as the plane approaches the island from the north.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a spectacular view of Mallorca's mountainous spine (Tramuntana) if the landing pattern brings the aircraft in from the west or north. Keep an eye out for the salt flats of the Camargue, which appear as pink and white patches near the coast.
