Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the eastern Pyrenees mountain range and a front-row seat to the Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon arrival in Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Loire Valley

Views of the winding Loire River and the patchwork fields of central France's historic chateaux country.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain, including the Canigou massif.

🌅

Costa Brava

The rugged, rocky coastline of northern Catalonia and the city of Girona visible before the sea crossing.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A stunning view of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed limestone mountain range running along the northwest coast.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

If the aircraft approaches from the bay (Runway 06), you get a perfect view of the iconic 'La Seu' cathedral.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the light hitting the Pyrenees and the Tramuntana mountains. If the wind is from the east, your descent will track along the western coast of Mallorca, offering spectacular cliffside views. Keep your camera ready as you clear the Spanish coast for the most dramatic mountain-to-sea transitions.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🗼

Paris Cityscape

Distant views of the Greater Paris area and the Eiffel Tower silhouette shortly after departure from Beauvais.

🌋

Massif Central

Overlooking the eastern edge of France's central highland region with its ancient volcanic topography.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

The sweeping coastline of southern France, including the lagoons near Montpellier and the port of Sète.

🌊

Balearic Sea

A vast expanse of deep Mediterranean blue as the flight leaves mainland Europe behind.

🏝️

Badia d'Alcúdia

The turquoise waters and sandy crescents of northern Mallorca's largest bays during the initial descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is also better for spotting the French Mediterranean coast as you cross the shoreline near Perpignan. During the final approach, you may catch a glimpse of the smaller island of Menorca to the east on very clear days.
