BRS → PMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the French Atlantic coastline, the majestic peaks of the Pyrenees, and a spectacular approach over the Tramuntana mountains upon arrival in Mallorca.
Bristol Channel
Views of the Severn Estuary and the North Somerset coastline during the initial climb.
Atlantic Islands
Clear sightings of Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron off the western coast of France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The Garonne river winding through some of the world's most prestigious wine regions.
Western Pyrenees
High, snow-capped peaks and dramatic valleys as the flight crosses into Spanish airspace.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range that defines the northwest coast of Mallorca.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Biscay. It provides the most dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountains just before landing at PMI.
Somerset Countryside
Green pastures and historic landmarks like Glastonbury Tor shortly after takeoff from BRS.
English Channel
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between the UK and France.
Loire Valley
Vast stretches of vineyards and historic châteaux in the heart of central France.
Eastern Pyrenees
Rugged alpine terrain and high-altitude lakes near the border of Andorra.
Bay of Palma
A stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline and the city of Palma during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. On the descent into PMI, keep an eye out for the historic Palma Cathedral if the aircraft approaches from the east over the bay.
