Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side wins for its spectacular views of the dramatic Bonifacio limestone cliffs and the iconic approach over the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains and Palma's historic harbor.
Bonifacio Cliffs
The stunning white limestone cliffs of Corsica's southern tip as the plane crosses the Bonifacio Strait.
Serra de Tramuntana
The jagged peaks and terraced slopes of Mallorca's mountain range running along the northwest coast.
Palma Cathedral
A breathtaking view of the massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Port of Palma
A vibrant panorama of the harbor filled with luxury yachts and cruise ships during the final turn.
The right side is unbeatable for the arrival sequence. Sit here for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Balearic Sea. The approach often follows the northern coast, offering a front-row seat to the Tramuntana mountains and the historic city center.
Tyrrhenian Blue
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water visible immediately after departing the Italian mainland.
Northern Sardinia
Detailed views of the rugged granite coastlines and the luxury ports of the Costa Smeralda.
Cabrera Island
The uninhabited national park island visible to the south during the final stages of the flight.
Southeast Calas
Aerial views of the famous turquoise coves and white sand beaches of Mallorca's eastern shoreline.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you. It is particularly good for spotting the secluded bays of Mallorca's southern coast if the flight path approaches from the southeast.
